Quote:Is my memory just short or are the storms practically every day getting worse? Sure, summer in Florida, afternoon thunderstorms. I remember a 15 min pour, some boomers maybe and then watching the steam come off the blacktop.

Now? Ma Nature ain't playin.

Does this summer seem worse than normal? Besides hurricanes, this is one getting hammered summer afternoon.

 

Depends on what you mean by "normal".  There are stretches were it's milder, that's true.  We went through a stretch about 7 years ago or so where the state was practically burning down because there wasn't enough rain.  But I can remember years before that when it was worse with the thunderstorms than it is this year.  So while it's an active storm season, it's not abnormally so.
