Double Rainbow from Summer Storms (Pictures Added)


There’s something especially unique about the thunderstorms we experience during the summer. These big fluffy white clouds with gnarly dark thunderstorms underneath are breathtaking. The storms are so visually stunning that their appearance becomes a hallmark of summers in Florida. It’s important to note that what could be viewed as a disadvantage when comparing seasons should in fact be viewed as one of summers best qualities. These little clusters of energy can be exciting and even create completely cemetrical rainbows with the double rainbow flare. Summer storms make summer what it is, and summer in Florida wouldn’t be the same without them.

Pinellas County Dredging 2018: Boats, Tractors, Sifter, and Tubing

It’s July 1st, 2018 today; county, state, and federal tax dollars are officially being used to create beaches on private beachfront property because of the recent passage of a bill that overrides local customary use policies on the beaches. It’s hard to believe so much money can be going into the pockets of private beachfront property.
