The hard rain starting early Thursday morning is the first substantial precipitation since Hurricane Ivan, except for one brief light rain during Tropical Storm Jeanne. Today's hard rain is exposing more roof leaks, sagging many of the blue roofs, bringing down exposed ceilings, flooding eroded yards and vulnerable roads, and surfacing other problems which were overlooked or which have deteriorated because of the hurricane.
"FEMA where are you?" is a cry that will lift up across the county today.
The good news is, the National Weather Service doesn't expect more rain for at least another eight days after tonight:
Thursday: Scattered thunderstorms this morning, then mainly cloudy during the afternoon with thunderstorms likely. High 74F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80%.
Thursday night: Thunderstorms likely. Low 66F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80%.
Friday: Partly to mostly cloudy. High near 75F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Friday night: A few clouds. Low 57F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
Saturday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s.
Sunday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 60s and lows in the low 50s.
Monday: Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the mid 50s.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 60s.
Wednesday: Considerable cloudiness. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low 60s.

They said on the radio today that 200 people called the COE because blue roofs were leaking. How many more couldn't get thru?
