Looks Like We Will "Enjoy" Tropical Storm Fay Saturday Afternoon

All eyes in Florida are on Fay. She is currently sitting in Gainesville - giving the Gators a needed bath.

Near Daytona Beach - they got 24 inches of rain in one day yesterday. That has to be some kind of record.

Predictions say the storm will be over Tallahassee on Saturday at 2 PM. It looks like the eye will pass south of town along the coast. That would mean we would get more rain after the eye passes because the winds would be coming from the south over the 90 degree Gulf of Mexico waters.

We will on a gentle grade on the side of a hill. Our property slants from the road down to our lakes - with about a 30 foot drop in elevation. We will have quite a bit of runoff - but no standing water for flooding. We are prepared with a giant house battery and inverter to power our refrigerator - lights and television. The house battery would last several days if we need it. We also have a Honda generator to re-charge the battery if necessary.

We expect 50 MPH winds and lots of rain. These are predictions and your mileage may vary. We are ready.
