true w/ the rain .... but that just makes it more fun dontchathink?

i got in a rain-soaked session a few weeks ago and had a blast.. it did lighten up here and there.. but for a couple 20 min periods it was pouring.. (and the wind kicked in too)

if we are talking thunderstorms here.. i'll stay at home and watch world cup soccer.

Yes and no,

We are talking about a tropical system here that will roll over tampa or just north.

What this means is maybe a ton of rain maybe a little, prolly a ton

lightning ? possible

wind? anywhere from 25-75kts possible................

No, flat kite , 7m CB, willl do about 25-50kts max maybe 55kts

this can be seroius flooding if the track of 90L , alberto, remains just north of tampa bay,. that squeezes all the water straight up the bay ops: ops: ops:
