No reason to start a new thread. I added a new HD video from today's Okeechobee rains. More of a tranquil South Florida July tropical rains video to relax the mind on a hot summer day.

Thanks Mitch! Yes, feeling and doing great. It's been a long three years of waiting. 3 months post now without any issues. Already cut half of my daily meds. Back to working and being busy.
Yep - Invest 93L in western Caribbean. Will have to watch over the weekend. Some forecast computer models develop it in the southeastern Gulf and want to bring it northeast. Way too early and it needs to develop first before we jump on it.
Next Tuesday "could" be wet.

I had forgotten, your ALWAYS around the lake for storms
Thanks! - Love to chase my summertime sea breeze storms. Lake Okeechobee setup's boundaries that help produce tornadic short-lived events several times a year. Just have to be in the right place at the right time.
Already sold it to The Weather Channel, which is airing already. Playing at about :20 after the hr. Also, ABC Good Morning America picked it up too, so watch for it in the morning.
I must get FOOD NOW! LOL
I see we have our first invest! lol
Hey, you look so great and HEALTHY in your new photo!!!!!

I was able to grab this still frame on the video of the Okeechobee waterspout yesterday. Pretty cool shot!
I had a few people email me asking where I was when shooting the video. I was within the levee at Nubbin Slough in Okeechobee County facing west.

June 23, 2009 - Severe thunderstorm complex moves over Lake Okeechobee, FL and produces a Water Spout with several Gustnadoes as well. A combination of the west Florida coast sea breeze, and a outflow boundary set off a large severe thunderstorm complex over Central Florida in the early afternoon. This convective system raced southeastward towards southern Florida, and moved over the great Lake Okeechobee region.
A water spout developed on the leading edge of the gust front tucked in on the west side where there was still some decent inflow to the line of strong storms. As seen in the following video, there is a funnel cloud at cloud base, with a medium size circulation on the lake surface tracking southeast. In the foreground of the water spout video, you see several Gustnadoes racing south. The spout and funnel became hard to follow as rain curtains wrapped around and moved south with the complex of storms.
After the storm moved over my location on the northeast shore of Lake Okeechobee, I encountered strong straight-line winds maybe near 50mph, with pea size hail. Lightning was also present, but remain mostly over the smooth waters of the lake. All in all, a very interesting afternoon on Florida largest lake.
This video is airing on The Weather Channel this evening, so keep an eye for it.
Watch the Lake Okeechobee Water Spout Video now
