grab a beer, make sure your gear is safe from water damage and get ready for the storm.

Everyone stay dry and safe. Hope i can get some good video or pics.

    Looks like we will get the easier side of the storm if it follows the 2:00p.m. path. Be safe guys and gals.

    It's a category 1, drink your beer and enjoy the ride folks. All will be well in the AM.

    I just saw a WEIRD tracking picture for this storm. They'd better be right. I don't want to be caught out of position for some of my clients in Myrtle Beach, SC.

    Ok I had enough of Fay it can leave anytime now. :( Lucky I don't live on the coast as some areas have had 24" of rain in a 24hr period, so its safe to say some are under water.

    It should be out ya here by Monday AM like all storms it's the way nature works. But other then that it isn't moving fast but moving west and then north, the parks haven't closed yet except for "Wet and Wild" once, and "Cypress Gardens" as I know of.

    Will this thing ever leave???? Had a tree down on the driveway last night not to mention all the branches all over the yard, still pouring here just like it has for 36 hours. Roads are beginning to flood north of Orlando.
