Rain,rain, go away

Even though tropical storm Isaac is over 1,000 miles away we are getting rain squalls.  They started overnight, were some about 7:45AM, and after 12:00 noon we have had constant showers.  Not heavy, as the S.W. part of the state, but gloomy and constant.  It is expected to be this way for 2-3 more days.  I didn't walk this morning, but did get the dogs out about 7:30 AM.  Those poor people in Hatti and the others in Lousiana, Alabama, and the panhandle of Fla. will most likely get LOTS of rain.  Wind too.
When I called my GF in West Palm Beach on Friday evening she said she doesn't even bother with the storm shutters unless a Cat. #3 Hurricane is called for.  She had lots of rain today, but is going out to a movie tonight.  Every spring she gets her trees thinned, so the wind can blow through them.  Sort of like having snow tires in the garage in a northern state I guess.
