Thanks to Cal Davis for these images… he writes:
“James,
Thought you might like a couple of pictures from the beach. The family and I are staying in Port St. Joe and drove to Mexico Beach this morning. It started out nice, but as you can see we had a thunderstorm head our way around lunch time. We drove back to the condo just before we got soaked.
“One interesting thing here is that we are right on the border of the time zone. The beach we were one is only two or three miles from the condo, but is in the Central Time Zone, while the condo is in the Eastern. There is actually a spot where you drive from the Eastern zone into the Central, go approximately 200 yards to the intersection of US 98, make a left turn and immediately cross back into Eastern. Talk about being “behind the times.” The TV stations are all in different cities, (CBS is in Dothan, ABC and NBC in Panama City, and several others including PBS are in Tallahassee.) Trying to figure out what time a show comes on or when a restaurant closes can be horribly confusing. One store here has two clocks on the wall. I still didn’t know which one was “right” for where we were just then.
The pictures are from the Central time zone, but the rain itself was happening in the Eastern.”
