On Monday, Paid weather nuts said it would rain Wed. thru Sun. Not a drop so far. I'll believe it when I see it. Thanks for the heads up. Tops aren't going up on the jeeps till 2 inches on the floorboards.

About 8:30 it got really dark, big giant 3 gallon drops started slamming down then POOF....Gone. Now the sun is out but it's still windy which means, it warned us, it's gonna slam us soon. :)

Sorry about that.

I was wondering about my fence and other fences as well... I suspect there may be a lot of fences blowing down in Lantana if the posts have rotted over time. I'm assuming the bottom of your fence posts were rotting?
