Tropical Storm Fay

"Hey watch this."

Link to a future Darwin award >>>>nominee<<<<

I saw that earlier on TWC. But, amazing to watch again. Sorry for that dude and hope he recovers, but incredible that he didn't use extra caution with any type of storm approaching. It put people on the ground in danger as well as himself. Sort of like going in the Gulf on a double red flag day. By the way, anyone know where Fay is heading now?

Fay is Fay. Who knows what direction she'll go? Looks like she's gonna bite FL multiple times according to the maps. Hit http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200806_model.html and scroll down.

C'est moi.

Canuck caught a pompano off Grayton on Sunday!!

...tell the Canuck, EH! for me! Canadians are wonderful people!

Thanks, BeachRunner. Looks like anyone who lives in Birmingham or Montgomery might as well just come on down to SoWal.

Since we don't reside in the area and rely on the weather channels, NOAA and a host of other weather forecasts and models, we keep a close eye on any TD, TS or hurricane weather coming that way. We are actually about 300 yds from water and below the dune crests and a natural area, somewhat protected. No reports of damage from other hits has been recorded (home built in 2000), so we worry and wait and watch and wonder what we might do or who we might rely on for assistance in weatherizing our place while we are gone. Any sugestions?

I wouldn't be so sure quite yet, it could still be an interesting weekend in Sowal.

What have I been telling you people all along?????

Oh, certainly not sure,yet. What I meant was that looking at all the options, it looks like it could just as easily go through Montgomery or Birmingham as SoWal. Given those chances, I'd just as soon be in SoWal. Upland seems to suffer more from flooding from this type of storm than the beach areas. Guess that good ol' sand drains better than clay.

My evacuation place is in Dothan. Jason Kelley just drew a line through Dothan. :angry:

And y'all who have kids in Tallahassee, tell them to hunker down and do NOT take any side streets (or main streets, for that matter). Tennessee Street is known to flood, and several years ago a young man in a small Kia got washed into a storm drain in Frenchtown and his drowned body was pulled from his car south of the stadium. It would be a good idea for them to stock up and stay out of the bars this week / weekend.

Wow...looks like Im in for a LOT of rain come Saturday..Im right below Florala...arrgh!!! Pouring here as I type...guess I can go stand at the window and watch my fresh mowed grass grow a few more inches, lol.

Oh...and by the way...DONT buy those green water storage containers from Walmart. I bought three of them last year and two of the three are leaking. Of course they wont exchange them...silly me, what was I thinking??? I patched them with shoe goo, lol..so far so good but dont think they'll last for anything but short-term storage.

Our sons house in Tallahassee while he was at FSU had water in it. Ruined their furniture, computers, etc.

Looks like Georgia's going to get some serious rain from this thing, and we might get a little as well.

eek, we're not out of the woods yet -

Just heard it was going to be directed straight to Destin

OH SAY ITS NOT SO



Arrrgggggggggg:angry:

Hey Nohall start evacuating and come here or start building an Ark!!!!:funn:

I think this Fay is a very fickle hurricane; looks like alot of us might be affected.

Noles
I cut-and-pasted this for my kid. He is actually a good kid, way better than his big brother was, but still. I am kinda freaked out about this whole thing. In some ways it's the waiting around that makes it worse than actually dealing with it.

Stay safe on the east coast!

This Fay is crazy stuff! But I have a new BFF- Dr. Jeff Masters. I LOVE his blog- he has great style, even if he is only discussing the weather!

EVACUATE?! If we get the 15" I heard about today, I'll send you the pictures of me dancing in it! (And I'm an excellent swimmer, so no worries.)

Besides that, my neighbor has no less than 4 large boats in his yard. I'm good.

I am praying for mercy for my friends in Florida, though...

You got your wish all at one time!

Jeff Masters is THE MAN.

He will tell you the stuff that the talking heads on TWC don't even have a clue about, without all the sensationalism.

But, he'll get direct when he needs to. He called the need to evacuate NO for Katrina on Wednesday. It struck Saturday. On Wed., everyone else was sitting there with their thumb up their @#$ going "Oh, it's coming to the east of NO so we're OK".
