Well, THAT was a mess indeed. Here in the Tampa Bay area we got around 1 inch and possibly as much as 2 inches of rain from TS Fay. However, many of my friends in other parts of FL did not fare quite so well:
Melbourne (Kennedy Space Center) - most places recorded over 22 inches of rainfall, and there were confirmed 30 inch falls. HEAVY flooding in some areas.
Lake City (I-10 and I-75 junction) - 60+ mph winds, and some downed trees, but surprisingly little rain considering the eye passed about 30 miles south.
Tallahassee (near the St Marks River mouth) - river was 8 to 10 FEET above normal levels for this time of the year. Not too many problems from the WATER....but when the river rises like that it drives the alligators closer to people's homes! YIKES......welcome to FL!!
Next post....watching Gustav.....
