South Florida. Tropical storm (later hurricane) "Bob" in 1985. 12" in
24 hours is probably above average but not too far out of line for a
slow moving tropical storm or hurricane in Florida. I just looked it up
in Wiki <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Bob_(1985)> and see that
I got away easy. There was 20" of rainfall in Everglades City a couple
hours away. Must have gotten rained out before it got to me. :-)
