Weather Highlight
While the rain may dampen outdoor
activities, it is a welcome sight to our Florida
neighbors. The severe drought in Florida had prompted
state officials to expand its water-use restricitions to
include businesses. However, the heavy rains that
occurred there yesterday brought enough relief that that
step may not be necessary. While the rain is welcome
sight, much more is needed to bring the state out of its
drought.
