Fay really likes Florida

[chri'stina 190]

I know it's just a tropical storm, but in my area when a tropical storm directly hit it did cause power outages and downed trees all over the place. So how are those in Florida doing, especially those who still are getting rain/wind from Fay? We were fine yesterday since it wasn't close to us.

And I can't believe it's going to turn west now soon and cross the other way! It doesn't want to leave much of Florida untouched. Schools were closed here yesterday but it was a decent day since the storm went way southeast of us. Where I am is now near the bottom part of the track cone, and if the track stays near our county I wonder if they will have to close schools again!?

I just read it may be something unprecedented this storm. Fay actually stregthened over land. Not maintained it's strength as others have done. But, got stronger. The blogger I read said he thinks because there is enough standing water and other sources in FL right now to do so. That is crazy.

[chri'stina 190]

Yeah that was crazy! I also heard it could be b/c the everglades are very moist and lake Okeechobee is huge.

There are many postives of FL, but some negatives too...like hurricane season.

Southwest

Well you need to move your homes there. Apparently Toll is kicking azz in Naples.

[chri'stina 190]

Naples is southwest FL. Fay made landfall right near there.

We barely got a sprinkle out of Fay. And no, I am not complaining about that. The less impact, the better.

Im waiting its my turn, south florida and east florida got the second hit, and keys got the 1st, north central florida is baring down now.

Work is preparing closures, schools are preparing, im ready this could cause a 3 day weekend WOO HOO!!!

SORRY im excited. i love exciting weather.

Oh my parents are ok on their cruise. They bypassed the cayment islands and went to cozumel, then went back to the cayment islands. they will be home tomorrow morning......good thing, we are getting hit by fay thursday afternoon into friday.

BRING IT FAY!!!

i couldnt believe she actually strenghtened so far inland. this storm has my personality unpredictable

Meteorologists are stating its very rare for a tropical storm to strenghten over land, and to zig zag across one state lol

Warm, shallow water tends to strengthen storms like these.

I hope all of you Floridians out there take it easy.
