She just turned and crossed the coastline a couple hours ago and is headed west. We are on the south side of the center of the storm, as it passes by we will be about 30-50 from the center.
That's just about where the worst of the weather is on the south and southwest side as she passes by. Right now the winds are picking up and the rain started increasing in intensity. I suspect we'll be getting a good toad strangler out of her.'Course, only time will tell. Depending on the high pressure front to the north, Fay may continue to track just slightly north of west, or she may angle further south toward us.
In either case, by this time tomorrow she should be mostly past us. Current speed is 5mph, so in 24 hours she will have traveled about 120 miles, that's pretty much across the state and into the Gulf.
Meanwhile, duty calls and I'll be at work tomorrow helping to get the mail delivered. Come rain, sleet, hail, dark of night, or Fay, we'll be there.
