Ohatchee fire station 2:55 p.m.

Most voters today will be fairly unobtrusive in the area's churches, schools and community centers that serve as polling places. But in Ohatchee, voters stream in and out of the fire station. Wayne Williams, a volunteer Ohatchee firefighter, said usually he remembers to put some cones in front of the building where the trucks exit in emergencies. He forgot today, and when he came in about four cars were parked out front.

"I know with the weather folks don't want to walk too far," he said. "We try to do what we can, but we have to keep it clear."

The trucks didn't need to make a run for it during the momentary blockage.

Otherwise, it looks like the weather might be clearing up. Driving back from Ohatchee to the Star newsroom I could see a double rainbow as the sun made an appearance this afternoon.
