Latest Fay Update

St Petersburg is well with in the "Cone of Danger", but it looks like the best models are showing that Fay will make land fall to the south of Tampa Bay. With any luck she will only get to a Catagory 1 (sustained winds of 80 mph).

Currently Fay is a tropical storm with high winds of 60 mph; although she will likely pick up speed and strength while moving through the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
In St Petersburg we get storms at 50 mph pretty often so our response is pretty routine so far – move in the plants, lawn furniture, etc.
If Fay becomes a Category 3 or higher (sustained winds over 125mph) we’ll start to panic then.
