OMFG Fay is still 50mph and the pressure is dropping

[malaise]

Florida DUers how is this going. Here comes even more water. It is heading back across Florida.

[Lorien]

1. I feel like crap

the fibromyalgia hates this kind of weather. Still, no flooding in my area (downtown Orlando) so I'm grateful for that. It sounds like some other Floridians are really having a lot of problems with both flooding and power outages. This is NOT a good time to be without power, as the air is so incredibly hot and wet!

[kdmorris]

2. The people across the street just got their power back

There were trees down on the line. Ours was only out for about an hour, luckily for us.

The water has gone down here, but it's still breezy. Still, it wasn't as bad as Frances or Jeanne or Wilma (I live in Southern Palm Beach County, Delray Beach, FL). I think it's pretty much over except putting everything back together here.

Oh, yeah, and Congratulations to Jamaica for the Gold, Silver, Silver in the Women's 100 m. What exactly are you all eating down there? :D First Bolt, then the women sweep the 100 m!

3. Got a phone call this afternoon...

from Mom. She says that the water is about 1/2 way up the driveway and rising. Apparently some of their neighbors were on the weather channel all afternoon. Wish I had seen the pictures! Lee said it was the worst he had seen.

7. It missed us in the North Tampa Bay area completely.

Just had a nice refreshing breeze yesterday.

However we should get some rain on the return trip tomorrow.

Crazy storm.

[malaise]

8. Crazy is the word

Stay safe and dry everyone. This too will pass and it should end your drought :grouphug:

[csziggy]

20. Fay is not going to go where the worst drought is

North Georgia, western North and South Carolina are still in severe drought. The original forecasts sent Fay directly up there, but not anymore.

[KG]

10. all i got a was a breeze and some cloudy days.

[fishnfla]

12. pissing match

eom

[malaise]

13. Now 60mph and facting stationary

[Ilsa]

14. Yeah, after hitting the Atlantic, it could cross over and hit the Gulf of Mexico again.

Florida could be hit multiple times. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi could all get tons of rain. It's needed down south and on Texas from everything I've read. I hope it doesn't build up and run into texas.

[cobalt1999]

15. The good news is Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi can all use the rain.

Tropical depressions & Tropical Storms are great sources of water.

[Ilsa]

17. You bet. We need weakones in Texas too. Just no cat 3 storms! nt

[malaise]

19. Yep once they don't increase in strength

Still 14 inches of rain in a short time can facilitate a disaster.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. My boss and his family are vacationing in Destin and he says the weather has been great.

Of course, they are western Florida.

[malaise]

18. That will change

Discussion on Weather Channel about global warning and hurricanes now

Just saw your message. I guess I missed it.
