Judging by what has come thru Uptown, that's a good call.
And coming back now, dang!

they're generally pretty weak so I wouldn't think it'd cause much if any damage to the bridge (esp. considering there are videos of people stupidly navigating boats through them)

but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be caught on the Causeway with 1 nearby

I could compare this cell to something out of a tropical storm... watching the rain move side to side instead of just down

You're in an F250 and you never drive over 50. You'll be fine.

I don't know who is worse in heavy rain, the idiots who never turn on their lights (state lay lights on when it's raining)
or the idiots with the emergency flashers on, but still driving.
