Tropical Storm Fay

Here's what it looks like at Eastern Lake this morning. Good news! Tents and beach crap ALL gone.

I am starting to hear the frogs.:shock:

Just talked with my cousin in Jacksonville,no power for 2days! She has roof damage. Tree in park across the street caught on fire and tree over neighbors car.

sunspot, I wouldn't call it the bullseye. We are on the west side of the center, currently, and there isn't much rain on this side for the moment. Most of the rain and wind is on the east.

...and the movie begins......

I'm not complaining but I brought my car to a garage and everything and all we've had is sprinkles or very light rain and no strong winds yet . I think the eye is supposed to come over us still which can bring heavy rain but after that it looks like it's pretty clear. Anyone getting heavy rains?

West Hewitt report: barely raining now, but I think that will change when we are on the east side of the storm, little to moderate wind. Cork, I feel the same way about all the stuff I did in preparation. If I did it all for nothing, I'm going to be a bit disappointed....:roll:

Inlet Beach report: light rain and a little breeze, but that's it. The Gulf is very quiet, though the wind was blowing the waves in strange patterns this morning. Let's hope nobody else gets hurt by this thing.

Tallahassee Report: Rain, Rain, and more rain. We are on the east side near the Florida Emergency Operations Center and are now approaching 7 inches of rain. According to radar rainfal estimates the highest rainfall numbers are now approaching 15 inches near Perry. Rain is now falling at the rate of 5 inches per hour just to the east of Tallahassee/Leon county. There are currently about 5,000 customers without power in Tallahassee.

Sit tight in Sowal...the rain is headed your way. Don't focus on the center of the storm as the worst rain is well to the east of the center and by the time it makes it to Sowal you will have a strong onshore wind.

Inlet Beach report: light rain and a little breeze, but that's it. The Gulf is very quiet, though the wind was blowing the waves in strange patterns this morning. Let's hope nobody else gets hurt by this thing.

Please Keep us updated on the East end...what happens there will be happening here soon! Thanks !

That's what I was saying Wednesday over here on the northeast side. The rains didn't really hit until Thursday, worsened Friday, also yesterday we were dodging tornadoes.
Be careful out there, they haven't called Fay the Joker for nothing.

West Hewitt: The sun is dang near out over here...birds are chirping...eerily calm.:shock:

Did I just see some SoWallers behind Mike Siedel on TWC?

I swear I just saw Geo.

Raining lightly here in Wewa and the wind is picking up, but that's about it for the moment. Canceled our "Back to School Bash" tonight in anticipation of more rain coming this way.

No rain or wind on the West end, none of our planed events have been canceled for the day. Just looking out the window a neighbor is walking to the dumpster with trash and it is dead calm.

I love that the weather channel is out in the full gear and they have people standing behind him in t-shirts and shorts on cell phones waving.

P.S. I am aware that we are in the calm and that the back end of this storm is the thing to watch out for.

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

Still no rain.

you're killing me.

who? where? were they wearing sowal hats and/or shirts and/or stickers and/or tattoos?

If it wasn't a Funn and a Cork, their twins in the universe are nearby in Panama City Beach. We'll have to ask if it was them.

Just stepped out (2 p.m. CST) and noticed wind has shifted on Eastern Lake. It was from north all morning and now is prevailing from west. Waves in Gulf are also up. They had been pretty quite all morning. Guess it will shift on around and be from south at some point.

Just ran the kids out of the house to enjoy the outdoors before the rain comes. Hope it doesn't pour now...................

I'm sure they will know to come back in if it does. It looks like we still have a little while.

FSU is reporting 11 inches of rain.

It was just brought to my attention, that there could be a concern with river flooding...........any thoughts about that?

Lots of flooding in Tallahassee. Most of Tallahassee is up to 12 inches with highest amounts on the eastern side. Perry to the southeast is closing in on 20 inches. It's still raining at a rate of 1-2 inches per hour.

About 14,000 homes without power at the moment in Tallahassee.

I'm going to predict the stormin' will really kick up about 2 a.m. ..
when we can't see it, only hear it...:shock:
