Ya know Ken, I just can't feel sorry for ya when you are getting to go to those dang islands and we have had SNOW 4 different days in October.

PLUS it is 79* there, heck we had a heat wave today and hit 50, with 30 mph winds of course.

Seriously, I hope you didn't get too much water in your umbrella drink :D

OK I will be good now---tell MJ hi!

I'm not sure but, I'll almost bet that 17" of rain is about what we get in a "wet" YEAR!!! :shock:
I suppose that hip waiders are not nessary, just a swim suit! :lol:

Well, Ken, that did surpass our "500 year flood" last year. Shoot, we only got 12" to 15" in 24 hours :wink:

Have fun, and keep the beer dry :lol: :lol:

Is this a so called "normal" period for the island?

Not a normal amount. Just a slow moving trop wave that kept rolling storms over...

Ken,
You wouldn't be much drier at home. We are at 10.14" for the month of October now. It is still raining and they say we have 4 times the normal rain for the month. Is to stop monday for a day or 2.
