Tropical Storm Fay

[InletBchDweller]

Here's why Fay skipped SoWal. I was vacationing in SoWal and got into survival mode and went to Publix and bought enough food for the family and me to survive without electricity through Monday, fully assuming our late afternoon flight on Saturday was going to be cancelled due to Fay. But, noooooooooo, because I planned for the storm and spend lots of money and time on canned food, flashlights, batteries, candles, etc., Us, People, and In touch Magazine to read by candlelight, Fay didn't come. If I hadn't planned for Fay, I'm sure she would have come over SoWalton as planned and turned into a category 1 or 2 hurricane. So, I single-handledly saved the day.

Yes, that was probably it. well at least you have plenty of trash talk magazines for the ride home.

On behalf of all sowallers, thank you! Might you be willing to come back should another "weather event" threaten? I'll spring for the trashy mags.

we are 2inches short of breaking the record for rainfall for the month of August.

I'm not sure of the exact numbers right now, but I think we're about 2 inches short of breaking the all-time lake low for the second consecutive year. So if I were mean-spirited about it, I would say that Fay couldn't get away because you suck. ;-)

But it's FINALLY raining here, and that makes me happy. 80% chance of rain tomorrow and Tuesday, and a 70% chance on Wednesday.

The SoWal area was very lucky and missed the brunt of the storm. Seven died due to the storm.

Tallahasse and other areas were not so lucky with some areas getting 20 inches of rain and thousands without power.

I not sure I would make fun of Mother nature, the season is not over.

YEP! Pay attention to the tropics there is another mess heading west.

We are paying for being so lucky now- severe thunderstorms and tornadoes! The radar looks ugly and looks to be ugly for awhile today. Fay has finally arrived.:shock: Wish we had just had the rain.

As of the moment, there could be two waves - this one and another that is around Pensacola at the moment.
