Nov 10: Thinking it's been "wetter" than normal? Well if you're along the east coast then you are correct. Fort Lauderdale, Miami, & Palm Beach have demolished their normal annual rainfall totals & we still have almost 2 MONTHS to go. Naples is a little below normal. #flwx pic.twitter.com/3cBCDLec5c
