the rainfall thus far as 5.25 " .
Sinkholes have eaten a couple of homes in Ocala, a couple of stores were flooded and within a mile of my house, numerous trees have just tipped over !
The "weather guessers" are saying another 7-12" through Thursday.
All we need now is the damn wind and that is suppose to show up this afternoon...
