Fay is comin' for a visit!

The first named storm to hit FL in quite some time, Fay will be visiting Central Florida around 2:00 PM tomorrow. At least, that is when the eye of the storm should arrive. We've been getting the very outer "bands" of storms all afternoon.

When we got home from work, Chris and I brought in the delicate plants, took down the hanging baskets, flipped over our rocking chairs and secured other plants that were going to ride out the storm outside. We'll both be home tomorrow... we don't really anticipate much damage, but even at a tropical storm, we can experience sustained winds from 39-73 MPH. Here is the latest Fay image published by the National Hurricane Center:



For those not familiar with these images, the black dot with the yellow circle around it shows where the eye of the storm is currently at. The following dots with connecting lines show the computer model path, with the white "cone" showing the area that will be affected by the storm.
