Tropical storm Barry attacks Florida on the opening day for hurricane season.

I am sitting here, listening to the wild wind and pounding rain gain strength and speed. Right now, powerful gusts of wind have toppled trees all over my community, sporadic power outages, and a tornado warning to make things even more wonderful.

And while the rain we have had here in South Florida was heavy, there was a time when I stepped outside to survey the damage to my landscape, to find myself standing in puddles up to my knees. But since the rain has died down somewhat, the puddles have all dried up, showing proof to the thirsty ground from the famous southeastern drought we are having.

Looks to be another trying year for the globe. I heard of a drought going on in Austrailia that has initiated very strict water restrictions.
