    Ok I’m confused about what the map photo means now. It’s raining inland. Is it raining salt inland?

      Yes. That’s the remnants of a massive hurricane that just pushed through Florida. Hurricanes sometimes bring salt water with them in the form of rain many miles away from the coast. When I was very young, there was one time where there was a massive hurricane here that was bad enough that we were evacuated, and when we came back, the glass door at my dad’s office was covered in so much salt that it looked like frosted glass. And that office was miles away from the beaches.

      This is basically the only time those idiots with the “Salt Life” stickers hundreds of miles from the coast will see salt water.
