Tropical Storm Fay...update...Tuesday late afternoon

Ok, its now 4:30 pm...only a few light squalls, no real wind in our area...south of us in Brevard county, they had a tornado go through one of the manufactured home communities...hate that, as this same community got slammed real hard in 2004.

The skies remain grey and threatening...temperatures have remained right at 75 degrees all day. Only thing rising has been the humidity...still not real bad...the A/C hasn't kicked on at all and I have the windows open with fans running.

From the looks of things, we should be feeling the effects of the storm in the next couple of hours, probably right around dark...winds of the storm have increased to 65 mph...it hit land at 60 mph around 5:30 this morning.

As of now, the wind is beginning to pick up, nothing steady just little gusts. The map shows the main bands from the storm are still just south of our area. The 'eye' is still churning down around Lake Okeechobee area, pretty far south of us. Deja Vue for many I'm sure....
