You have not heard it before, because it is a silly non professional term. It would be like me saying I was driving down the road in a reverse south direction to get to Clearwater. No one says that.

The rest of it split up and went North and South of my location.......


Oh wait........

I'm in a "coastal" location....so the coastal locations received coastal rain on the coast of the coastal counties that are located on the coast of coastal Florida.....

So, I must have got some measurable rain here cause our local weather expert with decades of knowledge said so.

Well before your time in this state on Chan8 and before your God Steve was around, John Winters would use the term reverse west wind flow. But what do weather men know or people that have lived HERE for years.

Where did ya live? Cause a reverse west wind flow is for the FL west coast only.
Excuse me?? Did someone **** in your cheerios today? "People like you"...what does that even mean lol, perhaps that I'm to naive or uneducated to form my own opinion simply becuase of a post on this forum??

You know what, maybe he messes w/you all because it's obvious you all get so worked up and upset about this topic.

I don't lap ANYTHING up...other then sometimes I like to hear positive people love where they live. I will make my own mind up after moving there. I asked because I hadn't heard of the term other then hearing it a few times on this board...I swear now when I visit next month-if I hear the term it will make me laugh and think of a Prius haha!

I lived in S. America, mentioned it I think

Man, I think I'm not the only one in need of a vacation
