As Tropical Storm Fay moves across Northeast Florida, I took these two snapshots from the front door of the house. As you can see, things really don't look that bad. It's been wet all day and the rain will continue for at least another day. The winds have picked up slightly, although these photos don't really show it.
Two major bridges have been closed (as winds have reached 40 mph in those areas). Bonnie reported the winds were much stronger on her commute home (the beer making never stops). Power outages are scattered. The beaches are a mess and have been officially closed. News stations reported one drowning after a few people went swimming (the victim was from Indiana). There's concern about flooding in the lower lying areas of the city and at the beach. High tide is around midnight. A few areas of southern FL have seen sever flooding.
I was hoping to try out the extra wind support beam in the garage. But it looks like my flood insurance policy will be of more importance at the moment.
