I walked Levy Trail South this morning in 32:51. Rain from Hurricane Laura began to fall in Levy just as I started my walk a couple of hours ago. Laura is forecasted to strike the greater Levy metropolitan area tonight as its first tropical storm since Rita in September 2005. All hatches are buttoned.
Laura was no Rita. It came in much earlier than projected, which a man on TV said helped degrade it. According to the National Weather Service's website at 6:09 p.m., only 2.1 inches of rain have fallen since this morning. The wind topped out at 29 mph. We have had far more significant thunderstorms this year. Obviously, we will have to wait a while for our next tropical storm.
