T.D. LEE

For awhile there most were worried about Katia and how close she would come before recurving, and a rain event on already flooded areas from Irene. Of course
that would be the story. Not paying attention to a Gulf storm and how they travel up through dropping large amounts of rain was a mistake.
Let`s go watch some more TV. /s

Off and on torrential rain, very windy in Tampa Bay area. Bands from TD Lee. Amazing!

Ended up going to Mobile by way of Whitehouse Fork and the Dolly Parton Bridge on Interstate 65. Was still very windy when I left, but they slowly calmed down as the day progressed. Some amazing cloud displays too as the front took over, in between periods of sprinkles or drizzle.

Took I-165 south to Bay Bridge Road and Battleship Parkway east on the way back. Waters receded enough so normal traffic patterns were back in affect, meaning we could take the causeway to the Exit 30 on-ramp. They still had the causeway closed after the on-ramp though.

Once on the Bayway, traffic was flowing well with the exception of a back-up at Exit 35 due to an accident on the left-hand side of I-10 westbound.

It's crazy to think that we were getting hammered by TS force winds just 2 days ago, and now I'm sitting here with my windows open, enjoying high 60 degree temps!
