Still spinning...Fay

Here it is almost 8 pm Wednesday night...Fay is still spinning just off shore pounding our coastline with some pretty heavy squalls. We've already got standing water in the yard and they are calling for us to get somewhere around fifteen inches or more...Fay is only moving at 2 mph so we are in for a major drenching...Brevard county south of us has already received over 21 inches in some areas with an expected ten more inches before its over.

A friend called to see if we had an extra sump pump, his yard is flooding so heavy that its affecting his septic system. He's running two sumps already, but the water is coming so fast they can't keep up. Hubby has a well pump set up that we used for pumping water out from under our old house...worked super...got it out and took it to him...

11:30 pm...Fay continues to spin off the coast of Daytona...the rain bands are dumping a considerable amount of rain on us at this time. Winds are pretty steady, but not doing damage around us at this time. The position of the storm at this time is 45 miles ESE of Daytona...just south of the area my sister lives....looks like the storm will be coming in between there and our area...
