Default Tropical Storm Fay

Damn this storm is alot stronger than I anticipated. Our drive way is half way under water. And a tornado was spotted about 5 miles away from my house. I dont even know how I have electric. It went out last night and came on right now in the middle of the storm...weird. Be safe Floridians.

The rain is increadible. They said in Vero Beach we are supposed to get 14". The wind isn't bad. The storm will be closest to us around 10PM tonight, but it looks like it stopped moving now. Good day to sit around and do nothing.

Thats what sucks the most, the damn storm is going so slow that the rain just keeps on adding up. We have a big storage shed in our back yard and the water is right up to the step. Another half an inch and it will be flooded.

That sucks Rob. I have a friend that had to work today also. The kid that works a BMW that you talked to. He said that they were about to close and then customers started to come in. I was like wtf? People are going out in this for oil changes?


Ive taken some pics for fun. Ill post them up in a little.

^ Not sure about that far up, I would assume that they are just getting rain and a little wind. I just saw some footage in PSL of vans that were under water up to the windshield.

Here are some pics:

I hope that by tonight you don't end up having that water come up to your door. It's only going to get wetter through today and tomorrow.

We so far I think there has been 4 tornados from this storm. One in Stuart, Wellington, and Lake Worth. And I believe that something was said of one around Johnathan Dickson Park.

I think that PSL still had it the worse. Cars underwater ftl. And 8 tornados. Fay packed a punch for a tropical storm.
