- Curious about something you saw while walking in the woods? Spot the coolest bug ever? The prettiest flower and butterfly? Stumble on a rock and found a fossil? Or was it? This is the place to show your discoveries and share in the knowledge of the natural world right outside our doors. Join in the fun everyday at The Daily Bucket.
Christmas Eve, Tallahassee, Florida
Update: Check out the companion bucket by PHScott with photos of the aftermath of the storm at his place about 10 miles to the west.
This will be a pretty short bucket but I'm guessing many of us will be busy with holiday stuff.
The Tallahassee airport recorded 7.44 inches of rain yesterday, the highest daily total ever recorded in the month of December. Street flooding has been recorded around the city as well as some downed trees.
Currently it is warmer outside (72) than inside and, as a result condensation is covering the outside of the house.
One more line of storms is approaching but for the moment it is calm. I have heard spring peepers calling and some Carolina wren song. Now I am hearing chickadees calling - probably hungry. Heard some gunshots about 10 minutes ago indicating a very avid hunter out on the water. Our swimming pool is an interesting brown color from dirt being washed into it but other than that all is well.
