Fay's Eye Just Passed - Saturday 6 AM


It is raining outside - pretty hard - but is is basically coming straight down. Every now and then you hear a harder wave of rain on the roof. There doesn't seem to be too much wind right now.

We have not had any power outages at our house. All the drains outside are working fine. The pool is not above the normal overflow level.

Fay is moving pretty fast now - 7 MPH.

The Tallahassee Democrat keeps updating the news on their web site.

At 6 AM - Fay was back over the land after crossing the water near St, Marks - a small boating village where the St. Marks River and Wakulla River meet near the Gulf. Water levels there are about one foot above normal. During several hurricanes this village was under several feet of water. Our favorite Riverside Cafe has markings on the wall showing how high the floodwaters were for each hurricane.
