[STORMREPORTS] Florida Heavy Rainfall & Flooding

From: Thomas Giella, KN4LF (kn4lf{at}gbronline.com)
Date: Wed Dec 25 2002 - 10:03:34 EST


  The central peninsula of Florida has seen widespread excessive rainfall in
the past 24 hours yet again. Totals ranged between 1-4", with a large swath
of 2-3". Here in rural west Plant City east of Tampa I measured 2.85". That
brings my December 2002 total up to 12.07" and the year total to 82.00"!
Unfortunately nearly every river basin in the state is saturated, with every
river at or above flood stage. With 3 more months of El Nino enhanced
rainfall possible, this El Nino rainfall anomaly of 2002-2003 may exceed the
previous record rainfall event from the El Nino1997-1998.
   Looks like we will be closing out December 2002 on a cold note, ensuring
that December 2002 will be considerably colder then normal, like November
2002.

Seasons Greetings,
