Dumping Ground for Random Thoughts

Once again, we have had to deal with a tropical system dealing us a direct hit. This time it was only a tropical storm and it came up from the south. There was a lot of rain and brief gusts that were close to, if not at, hurricane force.

Now comes the long process of cleaning up all the yard waste that was thrown around. But first, we have to wait for the water to go away. Mid-day numbers indicated over 7 inches of rain since the storm first started affecting us yesterday evening.

Fay managed to maintain its strength as it traveled up the state. Fourteen hours after making landfall at Cape Romano, Fay’s central pressure has dropped and the winds have increased. The forecasts call for it to exit Florida around Melbourne and re-enter the state around Jacksonville.

Keep an eye on this storm, it’s going to be around for a while.
