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.
