I'd post more pics (have wifeys dslr now) but they show pretty much the same thing as before, not much change in the rain intensity or wind here. Its moderate with tiny tropical raindrops, varying ever so slightly in intensity.

We had a nice steady rain for several hours here on Anna Maria Island (South of St. Pete, North of Sarasota/Longboat Key). The island is known for flooding, especially at high tide, which I believe is around noon tomorrow.

Here is the calm GOM from this evening. And it sure is a pleasant temperature for June - 63 degrees.

Still waiting for those first drops of rain from Barry.

Lake Worth, Florida
It has been raining for hours. Sometimes heavy, but usually light and steady. My lawn is growing happier by the minute.
73 degrees according to NWS
I'll take this kind of tropical cyclone any day over a hurricane. I predict no damage to my home nor my person, unless you count my wife beating me for leaving wet footprints on the floor.
