Well it has been a couple of weeks since I wrote anything about the drought index and it was really getting severe across Central Florida and to our south. Yesterday's rain helped, but it is going to take many more of those to take care of the problem. The rain we had will only bring a temporary relief unless we get more soon. Looks like the next front that is heading our way will be a dry one. So keep your mind on water conservation and don't over water the lawn or water the sidewalks.  If you have just moved to the area then you are probably wondering what...wait a second I thought it rained every day in Florida....well this is our dry season and you will see our classic afternoon thunderstorms once we get into June. Just ask your neighbor about our storms in the summer and I am sure they will have a classic tale or two about it pouring down the street and sunny at their house or the lightning striking all around them.
