Here comes Fay!

I'm firing up the blog so I can give you a play by play of Tropical Storm Fay, which by all forecast models, will be visiting Florida this week.

And school starts tomorrow. Heh. My daughter is thrilled at the notion of having a day or two off already (that's a teenager for you).

I will be blogging through the storm--which is forecast to strengthen into possibly a Cat1 hurricane. That is, as long as we have power and internet access. Plus photos and video as I am able.

TS Fay has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph with higher gusts, and the pressure is 1003 mb. Exact measurements will come later as the Hurricane Hunters can't fly into it, with the center being over Cuba.

There are already TS warnings and Hurricane watches/warnings being issued for the lower coastline of FL and the FL Keys (take care, Meg Cabot!)

As a reminder, please use your own local forecasters for up-to-date information as I am just a weather junkie ;)

Be safe! More later.
