Yep - it rained (well, not today)...

No, I'm not looking to take Al Roker's job.

Today, we went to the storage unit to check on the 5th wheel.  I had one of "those feelings" in the pit of my stomach as we headed north and east from home, there was a lot of standing water.  Standing in the ditches, standing in the fields, standing in people's yards.  Our island has decent run-off; other than the parking lot construction at our rec center, there is no standing water.

The mainland, however, is a different story.  It is mostly Farm to Market roads to get to our storage unit... we had to come to a crawl several times because water is still standing/running over the road in places.  Two days after the rain stopped.  This is all low-lying land, mostly agriculture: cotton, sugar cane, citrus groves.  One cotton field we passed had just been picked - lucky for them, because the entire field was under water.

I was a bit nervous as we pulled up to the gate at the storage unit... it looked a bit "boggy" in the grassy places, but not much in the way of standing water.  We unlocked the door, opened it, and... dry.

We loaded a few more things into the 5th wheel, and went into the valley for lunch, then to do some RV looking.

We'll be looking at weather and making some travel decisions.
