Chemar and Joelle are the only two I know of (I think). If I missed someone that I should have known about I'm sorry!

Ya'll please stay safe.....:smileypray:

hopefully it will die down or go out to sea, I hope you all are safe and careful, Kelly you too, you are not that far away. and georgia looks to be in its project landfall path.

jmiller is in Spring Hill, FL. Not sure where that is but from the looks of the weather channel map the entire state of FL will get some impact from this storm.

He's on vacation up north right now....hopefully he'll miss the storm or get back in time to batten down the hatches.

What am I thinkin'.........??? He's got plenty of duct tape! He'll be fine!! :D

Chemar 08-17-2008 12:11 PM

BMW :hug: is NE of me and I am NW of Orlando.

currently the models have it making landfall somewhere along the west coast of Florida late monday-early tuesday and it depends on a bunch of things as to the track it will take then


This is always so hard when praying about these storms...as praying it will veer west away from us means it will head for panhandle or gulf coast.....:(

after the damage we had here in 2004 I really am very scared of these storms.:icon_eek:

really a test of one's ability to trust the Lord, nomatter what:o

Chemar dont be scared Fay ... it is going to be a small hurricane if that . be prepared dont be scared :hug:, I just brought a elderly neighbor to store for supplies. Right now it seems like many are pretty laid back on this one .well at least around my area. but we will get the bad side of it as it "shakes floridas hand " . and I think id rather it come here then the gulf where it could affect the oil rigs and stuff like that.and my neighbors...and N.T. members out that way. I am right on the east coast florida...

wonder how Southie is she is a florida memeber on west side I believe and a few others I know of I p.m. already to keep in touch ;)
lets all Tie down our floats help our neighbors or those who need help and lets all make it threw this storm safe and sound. :grouphug:
PEACE

Syaing prayers for you and everyone down in Florida :hug:

I hope that the storm is downgraded and turns out to be nothing damaging.

who moi 08-19-2008 05:08 AM

hope you all are staying safe and "dry"

:grouphug:

Chemar 08-19-2008 09:31 AM

lol Moi no such word as "dry" on the Florida peninsula today :D

however good news is Fay came ashore at Cape Romano, just south of Marco Island, as a tropical storm just below cat 1 hurricane strength and now has max sustained winds of 60mph with higher gusts. So at least she didnt strengthen before making landfall

8 a.m. Tropical Storm Advisory

Fay is moving across South Florida.

A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect along the west coast of Florida, from the middle of Longboat Key southward, and along the east coast of Florida, from Flagler Beach southward, including Lake Okeechobee, and for the Florida Keys, from Ocean Reef to the west end of the Seven Mile Bridge, including Florida Bay.

A tropical storm watch remains in effect for the Florida east coast, north of Flagler Beach to Fernandina Beach.

A tropical storm watch is in effect for the northwestern Bahamas.

Radar data indicate that at 8 a.m. EDT, the center of Tropical Storm Fay was located inland in South Florida near latitude 26.5 north, longitude 81.4 west, or about 30 miles east-southeast of Ft. Myers, and 35 miles southwest of Moore Haven, on the west side of Lake Okeechobee.

Fay is moving toward the north-northeast near 9 mph, and this motion is expected to continue today, taking the center of Fay across the Florida Peninsula. A decrease in forward speed and a turn to the north is expected on Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 60 mph, with higher gusts. Slow weakening is expected as Fay moves farther inland today.

Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 125 miles from the center.

Estimated minimum central pressure is 988 mb, or 29.18 inches.

Fay is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches, with maximum storm total amounts of 10 inches across the southern and east-central Florida Peninsula. Accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are possible in the northwestern Bahamas.

Storm tides of 3 to 5 feet above normal are possible along the southwestern coast of Florida near the center of Fay.

Isolated tornadoes are possible today over southern and central Florida.

The next advisory will be issued by the National Hurricane Center at 11 a.m. EDT.

:hug:BMW looks like your area may get real drenched:eek:

we are squally here at present with the big bands beginning to move in

It seems the main concerns are going to be flooding rains for our area and the tornado watch remains in effect till 4am Weds

thanks so much for the prayers lifted for us all and keep 'em coming please, especially that Fay wont spawn tornadoes and that there wont be power loss

Kitty 08-19-2008 10:20 AM

I talked to Joelle last night and they are hanging in there. They're in Coral springs. I could hear the rain pouring as we were talking (she was out on her porch). It sounded heavy!! She said she thought they'd be fine but I told her to call me if anything changed.

Please, ya'll all stay safe. Praying for everyone in the path of Fay. :hug:
