Tropical Storm Fay...update...Tuesday Morning

Its 7 am...the storm moved in on the west coast near Cape Romano, just south of Naples, around 5 am. Not bad as storms go. So far, it has not made much of an impact. The forecasters are talking about things deteriorating as the day moves on. They are changing the forecast for the track once more...now they are saying it will move across, head off shore and then come back across the northern part of the state....last night, they were calling for it to go 'straight up the spine' of the state. I don't think they know what they think.

So it looks as if the majority of our weather will be storms, some gusting winds and the possibility for tornadoes. We're still under a state of emergency until Wednesday sometime.
Really stinks for the kids going back to school...they just started Monday, some of the lower grades were scheduled to begin today and Wednesday...for now, schools across most of Florida are closed because of the storm. Once the winds get above 35 mph, the buses don't run. After driving our van in wind, I don't blame them one bit...waaaayy too top heavy. Many of the schools are also emergency shelters as well.

The rain bands from the storm are making for a very grey start to the morning. News people say that people should stay inside, mostly because of the flooding from the rains and the possibility for tornadoes. As calm as it is at the moment, I doubt that most will listen.
