    Thanks, God this much rain. We really really need it in Clearwater area.
  • I have an irrational dislike for questions in titles. For me, click bait questions in titles are for lame content farms. I would hope local news would stick to mature journalism. Give us the information we need.

    Im glad you guys are getting rain but I'm also a frustrated mom whose probable last vacation due to finances to Florida is June 22-28 so if this is my last and it most likely is it looks like pcb is gonna take a hit with rain I was hoping for a couple of nice sunny beach days dang. Makes me sad :/

  • Holly said little tropical area ,if this is little I would hate to see large., Dust suspended in the atmosphere acts as a natural sunshade, reflecting sunlight back into space. This has a cooling effect on Earth’s surface. However, within the dust layer, some infrared radiation is absorbed, leading to localized warming1. Sounds like their not sure what the some effect is.
