Rain and more rain

If you've seen the news for Florida in the last day or so..you saw that much of the state has been getting hammered by rain and thunderstorms. Fort Myers (where we were last week) got over 3" of rain. Sanibel Island got over 5". Up here in Wauchula we didn't get as much but it still poured down off and on all night and this morning. We were under a tornado watch for most of the night but as far as I know no tornado's were sighted. It still made for a very UNrestful night!!! I had all my "personal stuff" next to the door in case we had to leave in a hurry.
It is starting to clear up now so hopefully this storm system is moving on out to the east. Florida needs the rain, but I don't like thunderstorms..they weren't as scary when we lived in a brick house. Living in an aluminum/fiberglass box is a little more "hairy"..
Anyway..all is Ok and I'm looking for a ray of sunshine to pop out soon.

Yesterday while we traveled over to Osteen and came back in the rain..we had a hitchhiker riding with us...A lizard..He moved into the truck when we were at Fort Myer and we can't catch him. He moves so fast and is now hiding inside of the windshield side post cover. We're worried he is going to die from thirst or hungry. :(
