The Other Side of Tropical Storm Beryl

The Other Side of Tropical Storm Beryl
 
There has been plenty of news about Tropical Storm Beryl in the last couple of days. Sure, it cancelled the Jazz Festival and the Memorial Day events at our Eagle Harbor neighborhood, but there is another side - a good side - to Tropical Storm Beryl.
 
The good news is that we really needed rain. We needed rain to drown out the wildfires that have been flaring up this Spring.
 
Just Saturday morning, Frank and I actually got in our car and drove to the street behind us because the smoke was so thick we were convinced one of the houses was on fire. When we arrived, we realized it was just smoke blowing in from a fire somewhere else.
 
So even though Beryl cancelled our Memorial Day plans, it did bring some much-needed rain and hoepfully quenched those pesky wildfires in our area once and for all.
 
Happy Tuesday everyone - back to work!

Love your positive attitude about the tropical storm and all changes to everyone's plans in your community. It is clear you both are "rainmakers" in every sense of the word!

Yes, the rain was certainly needed. It is funny how we don't always get what we wanted, but always get what we needed.

It was indeed a rainy week for you all in north Florida but, like you said, you needed it. I guess you are now officially ready for the storm season!

Sharon - yes, Beryl did some good maintenance work, but it would have been better if it was not left for Memorial weekend :)

Frank and Sharon, and don't forget - after a good rain it's a whole lot easier to pound those Open House arrows into the ground!

Frank & Sharon - I drove by a brush fire on my way to Disney Friday night and I was a little surprised because in my neck of the woods it seems like it's been raining everyday for the last three weeks.

Jon, yes, it could have picked an ordinary weekend, but it probably caused people to rest who really needed it.

Pat, exactly! lol

Michelle, we have had fires regularly for a couple of months now.
