I have a friend in Key West that has been talking about the heavy rain for the last couple days. If this one strengthens, it could become pretty bad soon.
Yup...in a developing La Nina, but still leftover warm waters from recent El Nino...a decent hurricane season should occur...busiest one in about 4-5 years.
