Come Adventuring

(August 19, 2008 8:52 am) Tropical Storm Fay made its second landfall on Florida this morning at 5:00 am over Cape Romano. It had strengthend to near hurricane Cat 1 status, just 4 mph short of the category. It was moving N at approximately 9 mph. The projected path set it to go straight up the middle of the state.

Now almost 4 hours later the project path has been altered to take it possibly East of Orlando but hooking back towards us in Deland. All reports say it will stall just North of us and linger. That’s going to make it rough for us the rest of the week.

However if TS Fay stalls over water it’s predicted to rebuild. Reports also indicate that if that happens it could shot West into Texas.

So far at 9:00 am in Deland we haven’t had any storms, yet. I expect to see them in a few hours. Current reports are:

2 Confirmed tornadoes
over 35,000 residents without powe
Winds still 60mph, Confirmed gusts to 75mph
Has not lost a lot of strength since making landfall.

Oh and we have our share of stupidity here: Kite Surfers
