Currently we are experiencing a very atypical weather pattern with pretty much constant daily rain which is producing a lot of flooding. Thunderstorms with lightning and storm force winds tend to be our typical rain event.

You know ish is real when the local ginormous mall closes two days in a row.

I'm an avid camper with my boy scout troop, and consider myself a pretty astute weather observer. This current pattern has made it very unpredictable. Usually we can see the thunderstorms in the distance and see them rolling in, and with cloud speed and color judge how long it will last. Now with it being constantly rainy and cloudy, it's harder to tell when a sudden thunderstorm cell is moving in. Monday night we had a very severe storm cell pass over where I was that not only brought lightning very close, but it generated tornadoes, which is not typical of South Florida.

I don't anyone who really wants to be riding in a thunderstorm with storm force winds and tornadoes.
