I made a thread about this because we saw some pretty intense squalls spin south around the broad low offshore. Typically these storms move East to west this time of year but we are finding strong storms moving North to South down the coast - not typical.

Some squalls last night caused minor landscaping damage to my community in Delray Beach about 1 mile from the ocean with some weak trees that got taken down so the SE Coast of Florida in particular is feeling some minor effects from 93L

I think so people on Florida can post the conditions, if any, they are experiencing as a result of 93L.

It has been raining, it's raining, and it seems, it will be raining for the rest of the afternoon and part of the night.

The storms are about the same as average, only that it was a larger line of them then normal. Extending from the west coast to the east, moving southeast through the state...

Oh, okay. That's why I put "if any".. I don't live in FL and I was just speculating.

Homestead reporting in....Today was landscaping day so, of course, it poured. Starting at about 3:30pm this afternoon, we have had constant lightning strikes, huge downpours and it is still coming down although not as heavy. Given the height of the water in the pool, we have received 3-4 inches of rain in the past 3 hours.

It is a bit bizarre out tonight for a "typical" summer night.
Seems like "The Front" moved through North to South leaving clouds to the south and west and a crystal clear North Sky section.
Clear like in the Winter

As for last night's storms, incredible lightning.

All kind of weird to me with North to South movement and any kind of a front in August....

Pompano Beach here...

I got some rain earlier today, but nothing unusual for summer. However, last night we had the worst thunderstorms that I've seen in a long time, scores of lightning strikes hitting very close by, and very heavy torrential rain. The power went out for about an hour and a half, then flickered on and off for a couple of hours afterwards. I haven't lost power since the 3 weeks I was out after Wilma last year, so I found that very unusual.

Tavernier this evening, the most amazing outflow boundary from the north -- rolling clouds, a wall cloud, a huge wedge-foot -- very unusual to have the complex over south Florida move all the way south across Florida Bay and into the Keys. Got steady rain for about an hour, temps cooled a lot. Rained hard yesterday also. Special marine warnings went up when the squall came.

We just missed the really bad t-storms, they were to the south and east of us.

The clouds were reddish though. That was so odd-looking.

And atypically, the storm cooled things off.
