Tropical Storm Fay

This just in.....in Birmingham rain is coming down in sheets! You know, that sideways kind of rain. Everyone stay dry!

With the rain this morning, I drove little D to Bay school (he usually walks or bikes) and as I pulled up to the school, there was a huge flash....which I assumed was lightning. When I got home, no electrcity and hubby reported the 395/98 light out when he returned from dropping off not so little O at Seaside. Elec was off for about an hour.

Happy Monday!!!!

Tornado warning in Cullman County, which is the next county north of Jefferson.

Fay is not done yet!

It has come full circle...now we are getting it.

Yikes, that's one crazy storm. I heard Fay is a history-making storm, perhaps because she hit all Florida counties and has moved around so much (slowly and unpredictably). Stay safe. And I'm going to call our renters to see how they're doing (if they indeed decided to come to SoWal this week) given what I'm reading here.

We may get up to 8" of rain here!

Gave up on the Jimmy Carter/Highland Hardware/deadhead-cypress stuff long ago. It looks gorgeous for about six months, then rots.

Let us know how close she comes to refilling Lanier. Hope it is to the brim for you guys!

Tornado warning for Walton County (NoWal)--saw the lightening on the way home.

If I remember 6 months ago they would have to have a tropical storm sit over the area for 2 days to refill the lake.

Another tornado watch- and it looks like the storms are lining up again in the gulf. It is dampy damp damp here!

We are not packing away the supplies yet - Gustav.

The frogs are deafening.

beachma! Was just talking about you with lucky the other day; she was telling me your vacation schedule. Glad you made it safely!

Thanks...the anticipation of what we were driving into was much worse than it turned out!!! We're looking forward to seeing luckies for dinner tonight. We had an unexpectedly beautiful day Sunday...was rainy & gusty yesterday, but took advantage of down time to get groceries, etc. Hopefully we'll get some beach time in today!
