Me, Myself, and Tropical Storm Fay
Furnimus \| 8:28 PM on 08.18.2008	9 comments

As the title and picture explains, Tropical Storm (soon to possibly be Hurricane) Fay is headed directly toward where I live. I have taken all necessary preparations, but I still don't enjoy going through 4-billion-gallons-of-rain-and-strong-hater-wind storms. Although we survived Charlie with no precautions taken (we didn't have time), I am still worried about two things with Fay, and neither are the winds the storm itself will produce.

1. Tornadoes. Tornadoes can form easily in the midst of a tropical storm or hurricane. I know we can survive the less than powerful winds Fay will bring, but tornadoes are a different ballgame.

2. Rainfall. Flooding, Dude! Rain can be more devastating than the winds hurricanes bring.

So wish me luck, everyone. I will be playing my DS in my bathtub (just kidding).

Just ride the storm, man!

I agree with Kamikaze, run from the meteors.

I'm in Broward County myself, which is on the southeastern part of Florida. The rain hasn't been too bad, although it's been going on all day. Still, I'm more appreciative of the two days of school that got canceled. Summer vacation lives on!

I'm in Pasco County, but it looks like we're going to get lashed by the outer bands than get directly mowed over this time.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you have some supplies too! :)

Good luck d00d. I lived in Orlando for 25 years and I can honestly say that I do NOT miss that nonsense, although I've only been gone for two and, well...still live in the south. Man I can't wait to move north.
