Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

board up the windows, buy some weed, get some gas for the backup generator, and throw down some house rekkids. that's how i've done it.

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

lol, yeah they always tend to overhype these events dont u think?? i mean its not going to have too much time to really develop into a real powerfule storm.

and of course most of the models show it heading straight for tampa!! i am staying home like always.

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

I'm probably going to put the shutters on my son's room, my room and the sliding gas door and leave the front open. Going to fill up the tank and get some gas for the generator in a bit, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][URL]http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1031&tstamp=200808[/URL][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [B][B]Impact on the west coast of Florida[/B][/B] The west coast of Florida will take the full brunt of Fay's fury early Tuesday morning. With the exception of the NOGAPS model, the computer models have finally come into agreement on a landfall, with their 8 am EDT runs. The consensus is that landfall will be in Southwest Florida, between Marco Island and Fort Myers. Marco Island is my guess of a landfall location given the trend of Fay to track to the right of the forecast. With Fay's expected track nearly parallel to the shore, though, a slight deviation in the path will result in a large change in where the eye comes ashore. Storm surge will be a major concern to the region just to the right of where the center comes ashore. For the Naples region, a Category 1 hurricane can generate storm surges of 4-8 feet (Figure 2). Both the GFDL and HWRF models are forecasting a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 80-90 mph at landfall. Fay does not have time to intensify into a Category 3 hurricane before a landfall in Southwest Florida. If Fay follows a track further north and makes landfall near Tampa Bay, as the NOGAPS model predicts, there is a 10% chance it couuld intensify into a Category 3 hurricane.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Don't go windsurfing!

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

supposedly its gonna pass over me today, coming through the east coast. It'll be nothing but lots of rain by the time it gets here though. I was hoping for a nice big storm before I left, but it looks like just a slight pisser. that's just floridas lack-luster way of saying goodbye to me :-p

#1066657Post 27 of 45

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

Well at least we gave you rain :lol:

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

havent seen a drop of rain yet.. a gust here and there.. they always make these out to be bigger than they are, lol.

my office closed, and its fucking sunny out, lol

#1066672Post 30 of 45

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

windy here, occasional quick heavy rains when a feeder band comes through, got in a 90 min.surf session earlier this morning. Fair conditions (waist to chest high and choppy), but anyday you can catch a decent break in South Beach is a good day.

#1066675Post 31 of 45

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

well, weather its a sunny day out, or a windy rainy day, stay safe fellas. At least you have substantial warnings for preperation.

Over here in l.a., earthquakes catch you with your pants down taking a big shit while being hung over!

#1066822Post 32 of 45

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

Winds are really starting to pick up here now. Supposedly this thing is going to exit just below me in Brevard.

#1066828Post 33 of 45

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

I didn't have to go to work. Not much damage was done, which is good. It has been raining all day with high winds..Nothing more.

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

#1066833Post 35 of 45

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

I got tomorrow off as most of the boat companies in Volusia, Flagler, and Brevard counties decided to close. Its been somewhat calm here in Port Orange(just south of Daytona Beach). But if figure tonight will be worse. I'm more worried about tornadoes off this then anything.

Re: Floridians: Tropical Storm Fay

The eye is right over me. Really calm right now, I guess I should go to the store while I have a chance. Although it is kind of nice having the day off though :lol:
