I like to say that 2007 was the year we got our hurricanes in small doses, and everyone I've spoken to, outside my work place, likes it that way. Inside my workplace some officers and dispatchers (who rent homes) would quite like a nice storm- the overtime racks up some impressive numbers when you are on duty for 24 hours over several days!
My wife would like an end to the rain, not least because her arthritis gets seriously painful in these conditions. She's taken to getting up in the middle of the night (while I snore on blissfully) and having a "secret life" thanks to the pain that prevents her sleeping.
Personally I'd like more blue skies, less rain gear on the motorcycle and even though its still around 80 degrees air and water temperatures, I find the idea of going swimming in Newfound Harbor unattractive when the skies are grey and menacing overhead. Not to mention the tempestuous winds Tropical Storm Noel is sending our way as it ravages Hispaniola, Cuba and the Bahamas.
Streets in Key West flood easily, every time it rains, every time there is a high, high tide, or better yet when both combine.
When Hurricane Wilma approached the city from the Yucatan, the old timers in town warned that hurricanes coming from Mexico produce flooding, and they were right. Wilma flooded about 70 percent of the city, and created chaos that has been felt ever since. Many people left town unable to cope financially, others left after Wilma capped 8 major storms in two seasons. The emotional strain of preparing to get beaten up by winds, waves and flooding was just too much. I still see cars bearing the bumper sticker Another weekend-Another hurricane, that appeared during those endless series of storm alerts.
Today, street scenes like these bring back bad memories.
I don't like to drive in flooded streets not least because I remember the damage Wilma did to cars' electrical systems even if they temporarily survived partial submersion. Its time, I think for the rains to ease up. My rainwater cistern at home is showing almost four feet of water, and that will easily last me, even with some minor unstoppable leaks, into next year's rainy season. The aquifer in south Florida is dropping precipitously we are told, and though it seems obvious we have an unsustainable level of development, and zero conservation ethic, all this water flooding fields and streets on the mainland (where our aqueduct gets its supplies and pipes the water down to us) is going to encourage the notion that things are okay again. I wish more people had water cisterns- but they fear the "quality" of god's own rain, and are shocked when I tell then what they are drinking when they come to my house. It tastes good and apparently is filtered enough to be bacteria free.
Be that as it may, I look forward still to more sun and shadows in my neighborhood, and more water where it should be, among the mangroves. 
Enough is enough!
