I guess Ernesto is done at least over here in Naples. Got some rain and some wind overnight.
Today's been quite calm with some light rain but overall, glad that Ernesto didn't strengthen cuz it coulda been
alot worse.

Where I live in Collier County (aka Naples) we have a very heavy rain ongoing for no less than 20 minutes. We had already received 3 inches of rain before this episode of heavy rain. Checking some live instrumentation at a local Fire house not far away the rate of rain fall is about an inch per hour.

Ernesto the rainmaker. Glad we have a home well above the flood plain. I would expect if this rate is holding true along some nearby roadways, they will be covered by water.
