I put this page together for my own knowledge, just thought I'd share it with you all in case you're in the path.

It's basically 5 or 6 websites all together in one place.

Tropical Storm Fay Information

    Thanks for that Allen, got a couple of questions on this for ya.
    I looked at the radar and computer models and the models show it going up the west coast of Fl.
    Do you happen to have a time line on that?
    I'm leaving in the morning from NY, riding that beast to the left down to Bell Fl. (should arrive Sun. pm) for the week I will be all over the state including Jacksonville, Daytona, Plant City, Orlando, and if I think I can control myself (just a little) Key West.

          This is always a bad time of year for folks down in the third coast area, and as I do every year, I hope the storm season is mild and no one suffers with more than a little wind and rain.

          Of course you could always move out of the path of frequent hurricanes Your choices are the frozen Northeast, Tornado Alley, the Searing Southwest, the Shakey West Coast or the Volcanic Pacific Northwest. Lots of good opportunities to face new and exciting natural disasters.

          I kid of course. Stay safe, and I hope this one blows through with no harm.

            Flying into hurricanes was my son's job for 16 years. I never could figure out a way to stow away on one of the flights but sure would have loved to!

            I used to say the worst weather we got in the Northeast was a little cold and snow in the winter and a little warm and sometimes a little rain in the summer.
            So far this summer has been the biggest piece of crap ever.
            It's rained close to every day since the beginning of July and one city near me was flooded just last Monday.
            In fact here's a pic of what that storm did at my house
            Thom's Photo Album - misc/backyard1
            I was watching branches 15 feet long flying through the air and landing well over 50 feet away from the trees they where ripped off of (straight line winds) plus there was some hail the size of ice cubes.

            During July we where getting many days in the mid 90's with 90% humidity.
            Now high 50's to high 60's with some days 98% humidity.
            Of course the week I'll be in Fl. it is suppose to be 'normal' here with days in the mid 80's and no rain.

            Allen I lived in Tampa in the 70's. First in Sulphur Springs about 4 blocks from the dog track. Then I moved out towards Brandon.
            I used to spend every weekend on the bay crabbing (sure do miss that).

              Thom,

              You wouldn't want to live there anymore, not the best part of town.

              Kay,

              I would do anything to get on one of those flights!!!!!
