Nice sites. Very informative. I like that you used color where it was helpful but otherwise kept the graphics to a minimum. It helps with slower connections and keeps the site concise and easy to load. IMHO something other web designers should shoot for.

Hang in there. Keep the Jon boat and life jacket handy.

Down here in Florida we have been through two days of rain. A local amateur weatherman claims we got four inches in the last twelve hours. Locations that flood are flooded. People along the rivers are looking at a flooding in the next few days. An acquaintance was worried about his house flooding the last time a storm came through. He was relieved when it blew on through and he was still high and dry. Confident he was out of danger he went to work. When he got home he found his house flooded with three feet of water. As your site points out with that graph thee can be a deceptive and quite significant delay.

Fortunately I live on a sand hill and have never had any reason to worry about rising water. Even during the worse hurricane I have seen the rain in this area just soaks in. Hard to find a decent mud puddle around here.

As a kid who loved playing in them I think the local kids are deprived. I'm thinking of putting in for a federal grant to produce artificial puddles for the cultural enrichment of the local children. (I joke) - Some people on-line get entirely too literal. -
