Fay Makes Third Florida Landfall


Fay just made its third landfall in Florida. After battering Key West and Collier County, it came ashore near Flagler beach on the other side of the state. The storm has just been hugging the coast and dropping boatloads of water on Florida. Melbourne has already gotten 25 inches of rain.

Oddly enough, the Tampa Bay area will see more rain out of the east coast landfall than we did out of the west coast landfall. It's pouring down rain as I write this. And my roof is still leaking.

Fay spent a lot of time over land. It didn't spend enough time over warm tropical waters to become a hurricane. All things considered, we've been very, very lucky.
