I think it's all this rain, we've had rain every day for weeks, between bustin ass working and rain showers every afternoon, my yard is going on 3 weeks since I cut it, all nice and deep green and healthy but getting a bit bushy. I'll take it, beats the alternative.

It is the same here on North Padre Island. Lots of talk about it here.

Tides here in Englewood have been unusually high - low tide is like our normal high tide.

Same in Broward County, no matter where you are on the water. A couple Las Olas homes report 8" water in their homes...

I lived in St Pete / Gulfport in the 80's we water skied next to Eckerd College , Got the worst sinus infection ...
Found out St Pete would DUMP RAW sewage right where we water skied! , I always wondered why Gulfport beach would close after heavy rains.

I have been able to fish areas that I used to only take my airboat into, with my flats boat.....

Just saw Jim Cantore in waders kneeling in a ditch.

Seems like half tide is high tide around here. I double checked my tides app the other day when I was coming out of the canal. Saves a bunch of time and fuel when I can cut through the flats.

what do you guys around the coast use for a tide navigational app? looking for something that when turned on will track my course so I can come back in the dark with limited trouble. and also to use for the depth charts.

Which years ago, used to be called "Beer Can Island". Crazy freaking inlet, to put it mildly.

Just saw Jim Cantore in waders kneeling in a ditch.

Have stood 20' off camera from him in shorts & a tee-shirt on a panhandle beach, while he's in full rain gear, holding onto his hat, leaning into a mild breeze, dramatizing massive winds, fleeting rain, and how cold it was. Same with his sidekick...Stephanie Abrams.

Parker...Storm drains in the streets should be separate systems to the sewer piping from homes/business's. But are you saying...somehow...the chocolates get'n mixed up with the peanut butter?!

The tides have been bad enough, add 140 mm rain here Wednesday!
An hour above Maine, Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world.
