My particular area has just not had that much. Even when it threatens, not a whole lot of rain actually falls. The atmosphere seems to want to dry out real fast this year...

We're still bone dry here in south central Louisiana. Lafayette is over 12" below normal for the year. We missed the big flooding rains that hit Houston, Beaumont, and Lake Charles last week. It's almost July now and our normal daily afternoon rains have STILL not come. I'm beginning to wonder if they ever will this summer.

this link will take you to a drought index picture for the state of Florida. We are experiencing some afternoon sea breeze showers here in Fort Walton Beach/Destin but its not really having much of an effect.
