In the Red

During the two weeks we have been at the Estero Island Beach Club, the weather has been unseasonably cool, but generally sunny. We have had only a few cloudy days and almost no rain at all.

But that changed today! Today, it has been "Rain, Rain, Rain" all day long. Just look at the rain in this picture looking out our front door.




The old record for the amount of rain for one day in Fort Myers was 1.75 inches. Today we had over 5 inches of rain.

Just look at the weather radar on TV . . . green is rain, yellow is very heavy rain, red is a good old fashioned 'gully washer'. Today we were "In the Red" much of the day!







The walkway in front of our condo was under water. The water was so deep that if it had been 2 inches deeper, it would have been running through the front door into our living room.












Just past the gazebo are the shuffleboard courts. No, that's not the swimming pool, that's the shuffleboard courts in this picture . . . under water.

This is our last day at the condo. Tomorrow we will have to leave and get "The Bus" out of storage.

Fortunately, the weather forecast for tomorrow and the next several days is warm and sunny. It may take several days for this place to dry out after spending most of today "In the Red".
