The only bright side... Georgia needs the rain.

1. while I don't want to see destruction, I'd give my left arm for heat relief via any storm

I think we've dipped under 90 degrees 2 days this month. And what little rain we had only serve to make it MORE humid and disgusting.

You must live in FL.

This is the kind of weather we have had for the past 3 months. I'm sure not used to it because we usually spend our summers in Maine. But this year, due to my husband having radiation, we have to stay in FL. I will never, ever complain about any cool summer weather in Maine again.

3. nope -- suburb of Atlanta.

I grew up in Maine -- loved those cool summers. Atlanta has been in a heat wave all darned summer. Spotty 5 minute rainstorms just feed the humidity.

8. Believe it or not it is cooler here this year than last nt

10. I believe it -- I remember my electric bills from last summer

I'm just so sick of this humidity. And the orange alerts -- endless orange alerts.

4. Texas here. Hot dry and no end in sight. Triple degree temps since Memorial Day.

The absolute worst summer I can recall. I'd give any thing for some relief from this miserable weather pattern.

7. I agree. Hopefully it will cause no destruction but dump lots of rain. nt.

2. Please folks, remember to take care of your animals too.

Those in shelters will need protection also.

6. After 23 years in Key West

this is the first time I've smiled to find I'm in the cone...

In NC now and we need the rain.

You folks in Florida batten down the hatches now and stay safe.

9. According to StormPulse

it's projected to be a Cat-3 storm by landfall. I think "drought-relief" will the last thing on most people's minds.

Start watching your local emergency sites for evacuation zones.
