Tropical Storm Fay

Nothing here either and the weather channel's big story is now "watching the remnants". :funn: Time to get out the vodka and tonic.

Jim Cantore is currently in front of the Holiday Inn Sunspree, go for it jfunn!

I think that's where we spent our honeymoon! Our parents were totally against us getting married as undergrads, so they didn't contribute much to the event. It's not like I was pregnant -- later on I discovered my infertility problems. After years of grad school they wanted me to get pregnant. Go figure.

BTW the place is a dump, but if your parents aren't supportive and you have no income, that's all you can afford. Thankfully we have been more successful than our parents could ever understand.

It is truly gross and especially if you look at the prices. Right now the best rate for one night is $139.00. :roll: Maybe you could get the room next to Cantore.

Looks like the east end is just starting to get rain. Any reports?

A bit breezy in Old Pt. Washington. The screen doors have flapped a couple of times, but nothing to write home about....yet.

Hubby and the boys went to the beach to check it out....I was left behind to chill out....mama needed a break!

Rain is just starting now in Seagrove. Wind picking up, too.

I am off to bed...y'all stay safe and be careful!

Just got home from Old Florida Fish House on Eastern Lake. Light rain just starting to fall at 10:45 p.m.

Not sure about the Grayton Beach access, but the TDC closed all of the other accesses. The surf wasn't doing anything at sunset.

The wind has picked up here, but no rain.

All County walkovers are closed.

The 25 mph+ sustained winds will start blowing about 7am CST on Sat morning. Good luck everyone and please stay off the beaches and beach accesses.

That answers my questions. Glad to have good friends on that end. Thank you!

Thanks everyone who is sharing with us the current conditons. We are watching and praying for you in Sowal from MO!

11:45 p.m. Rain picking up just a little at Eastern Lake. Winds still not much to talk about. Waves on coastal dune lake next to gulf still minimal. There are 15 noted coastal dune lakes in South Walton. Eastern Lake is the fourth lake from the East. SoWal has about 26 miles of beach. On the East is Lake Powell which is shared with Bay County and Walton County. Next is Camp Creek where you also have the WaterSound development, next is Deer Lake and Deer Lake State Park, then you have Eastern Lake. Seagrove Beach and the intersection of 395 and 30A is about 2 miles to the West. Western Lake gets you past Seaside and to WaterColor and Grayton Beach State Park. Hi OM.

Thanks, unfortunately the Weather Channel can't spring for the WC Inn for Jim "We're all gonna die" Cantore.

Still no rain.

Hang in there everyone!!!

Hang in there everyone!!!

It's gonna be cabin fever more than anything.

We get higher winds than 35 mph with many thunderstorms that blow through this place. Glad most got their junk off the beach. It looked quite beautiful today with all the tents and canopies removed. Hope they stay gone for the rest of the year. Will step out back and see how things are with daylight. Can hear wind picking up just a bit.

We have Drizzle on the West end!

Good night and good luck!

Steady drizzle on the east end, not much wind at all.

It's getting a little gusty in Seagrove, but still not up to last week's thunderstorm. The rain is hardly more than a drizzle.

The evolution in the NEXRAD radar seems to suggest that yesterday's heavy rain on the leading edge of the storm is greatly diminished. But the rain on the trailing edge has gotten much bigger.

So, it looks like the real rain in SoWal will be after the center passes. With the center now near Apalach and Fay's SLOW movement, we could be late this afternoon or sometime tonight before the real blow and rain.

That's what I'm seeing too- tornado warnings are starting to kick up on the back side of the storm. This morning looks pretty quiet, but later today sounds like the storm will be impacting us like we have been expecting it to-

Last night was such a non-event at our house. We all got a good night sleep!

Imagine a drizzly day in Oklahoma. That is what it is like here right now. Not terribly impressive and I can't imagine why it would be closed.

When I woke up this morning....I wondered where the storm went???? I see from the radar we'll be seeing more action later today. Did I hear the Weather Channel say it was intensifying???

Looks like we are in the bullseye right now, no?
