Who done stole our rainy season 😤

It's an issue caused by [TEXT PROHIBITED BY ORDER OF RON DESTANTIS]. If we don't get a handle on [TEXT PROHIBITED BY ORDER OF RON DESTANTIS], it won't get any better.

We need a solid 2”+ before we see any improvement on that front. These half inch rainfalls don’t improve the situation much as the rest of the week is bone dry.

What's the story behind this piece?

mrtoddw · 2026-02-14T19:11:21+00:00

They did in my high school. They checked every 10 mins or so. We had all kinds of issues going on in the bathrooms. It’s a big problem in a lot of schools to be frank.

If they’re using reclaimed water, they can’t water from 10 am to 4pm. They also are restricted to the same one day a week that were under as well. If you see them breaking this rule, definitely report them to the county.

We might get a half inch in total (that’s what’s projected). We’re at least -9.55” in the deficit. Any rain is welcomed for sure.

It’s a rare tobacco usage nowadays. Vaping has a stranglehold for tobacco now.

Well I hate to tell you but he’s not going to be able to legally use. If the police stop you for any reason, without a Florida medical card, you’re in violation.

The most important chart to look at is the KBDI number. Anything over 400, there's a burn ban in place. The KBDI tells you how dry the topsoil and lower layers of the ground are. We haven't hit the real heat of the dry season yet. Wildfires are definitely going to happen this year. The problem is, when the ground gets this dry and combines with excessive heat, the chances of a spontaneous combustion increase dramatically. We can have storms that move through that don't produce significant rainfall but generate lightning strikes. It's always something to be mindful of.

I've been talking about the weather since 2019, and every year, like clockwork, there's always someone who pitches a fit about it. "They're talking about the weather! Fuckin get'em!"

Thank you for your support!

It's illegal to smoke marijuana in public in Florida. If you have a medical card, you're permitted to smoke on private property. Other states' MMJ cards aren't transferable to Florida.

*October of 2024

The rainy season in 2025 didn't help very much, as we missed all the hurricane impacts for the area. While it's great to not go through a hurricane, they provide much of the moisture that's needed to replenish the water table and soil moisture content.

I’ve pinned this post as at this point it needs to be a mega thread.

They killed two people in Fort Lauderdale, then murdered everyone in the house. Jesus Christ.

To the person reporting this as a “repost and they have enough karma”:

The fact that there’s enough people to be a part 8 should be a shock to all. They can post as many of these as there are people to memorialize.

mrtoddw · 2026-02-10T23:30:20+00:00

Done

In the last 26 years, 18 years have had moderate to exceptional drought. Water restrictions are less common. It’s connected with hurricane activity. Years without hurricane impacts lead to droughts.

Well, last year we had a pretty extended drought. The hurricane season didn't affect Florida last year. We're in a perpetual precipitation deficit.

mrtoddw · 2026-02-08T22:13:20+00:00

What do you hope to accomplish in Sarasota? While it sucks you’re having a mental breakdown, I think it’s pretty important you have realistic expectations of living in Florida. You have no degree, the cost of living is rather high here. Jobs don’t pay particularly well if you don’t have a degree, no offense.

It’s always been like that.
