Hi all,
Living in Florida right now is a nightmare.. we have had 3 nonstop days of HIGH WINDS, excess rain (St. Augustine is flooded and declared a disaster in some spots.... we have had our lights go out a number of times. There are nearly 100,000 without power in NE Florida and the winds are in excess of 50 mph. The system is stalled and we are getting pounded. No school today (it's supposed to be the first day), and we are at the mercy of the winds.
Please pray for us that it's over soon. It's hot and humid and when a/c goes out we are really uncomfortable. They are doing all they can... but it continues to batter us.
Thank you,
Love, Rose
Full Version: Tropical Storm Fay
Thank you to all who read this and prayed. The storm is finally calming and peace will be with us tomorrow in our part of Florida.
God bless you. Now I am praying for those in the Northwest who are next on the list.

The first thing we have to iron out is all this landfall nonsense. Various sources have reported that Fay has made a fourth landfall. A couple have even gone so far as to say Fay has slammed Florida again. In my opinion this is meaningless information. The storm never went away. Florida has been getting inundated with rain since early in the week. The number of landfalls means nothing. Of far greater significance is the very slow movement of the storm, which has greatly extended periods of heavy rainfall.
With another large high pressure system about to build to the north, Fay still has no easy escape route. For the next couple of days the storm will continue to drift through the Deep South. Perhaps during the middle of next week the moist remains of the storm will turn toward the Northeast, but that is not certain.
Through Sunday the main impact from the storm will be more heavy rain and flooding.

As slow as your repentance will proceed, so slow will Fay follow the coast lines, the very place where earth and water meet in a never ending display of kisses.
I do believe that repentance and natural disasters are related. Amen!
Does Florida already look like a lake-land?

Florida governor to survey damage from Fay
(CNN) -- Florida Gov. Charlie Crist warned Sunday that more flooding could be on the way in parts of the state already hard-hit by Tropical Storm Fay, now a tropical depression.
Saquin Scott watches a crew remove a tree that just missed his home Saturday in Gadsden County, Florida.
Crist told reporters he would take an aerial tour Sunday of the areas that took the worst of the storm.
Also Sunday, President Bush declared a "major disaster" area in Florida, making the counties of Brevard, Monroe, Okeechobee, and St. Lucie eligible for federal funds.
Fay, the tropical storm that wouldn't go away, has weakened to a tropical depression, but forecasters warn it could still drop up to a foot of rain along its path over northwest Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Fay was marching west-northwestward at 10 mph Sunday morning, and forecasters warned that the storm could spawn isolated tornadoes Sunday in the Florida Panhandle, western Georgia and Alabama. Video Watch trapped residents get rescued »
Fay, which sprang to life eight days ago over the Dominican Republic, caused flooding and at least 10 deaths in Haiti before sweeping over Cuba, the Florida Keys and onto the Florida peninsula.
The storm spent several days circling the central and upper coast of Florida with heavy rain and severe flooding before beginning its current westward track. iReport.com: Send your videos, photos from the storm
Fay is blamed for 11 Florida deaths.
Another storm-related death was reported in Cairo, Georgia -- about 35 miles north of Tallahassee -- when a teenager playing near a drainage area was swept away in rising waters, the National Weather Service reported.

Fay's disorganized center was about 60 miles east-northeast of Mobile, Alabama, and about 30 miles north-northeast of Pensacola, Florida, the hurricane center advisory said.
Radar measured Fay's top sustained winds at about 35 mph late Saturday, and it is expected to gradually weaken over the next two days, the center said.
"Fay is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 6 to 12 inches across the extreme western portion of the northern Florida Peninsula, the Florida Panhandle, southwestern Georgia, the southern and central portions of Mississippi and Alabama and eastern Louisiana," the hurricane center said.
It also said some areas could get as much as 20 inches of rain.
While all tropical storm warnings and watches have ended, emergency officials along the Gulf Coast are braced.
In New Orleans, a famously low-lying city, the Army Corps of Engineers said its canal flood-watch teams have been activated as a precaution.
In anticipation of the storm's westward movement, teams will "mobilize to their duty stations 8 a.m. Sunday, and monitor canals and levees in the city," the Corps said in a written statement Saturday.
Col. Alvin Lee, New Orleans District commander, said the actions were "precautionary measures for the safety of the public."
"However, we are prepared to close the gates and run the pumps should the need arise," he said.
The Corps took responsibility after Hurricane Katrina flooded most of New Orleans in 2005 for not having built sufficient levees against flooding.
The National Hurricane Center said isolated areas of eastern Louisiana could have up to 20 inches of rain.

That's for sure, it does look like a Lake-Land.
And it's not far from me... but thank goodness on the western side.
