I wanted to drop in here tonight before the boards close. We're prepping the boat for an expected evacuation from the military bases in Key West tomorrow afternoon, that doesn't mean that all of Key West will evacuate at that time, military always goes first

Fay is known as the Joker down here, no one is daring to predict what exactly she'll do, anything from a Tropical Storm to a Category 3 is probable at this time. It all depends on where it crosses Cuba, if the mountains tear her up we may escape with a lesser storm but if it hops across a low spot...

Anyway, we're off to Key West for more docklines tonight and I'm hoping we can stop off at the Hurricane Grotto to light a candle too. I'll try to update on Monday!

I just heard that Florida is under a state of emergency. You are in my prayers, Jennifer. Let's hope it doesn't strenghten.

Jennifer, praying here. I was wondering how you were fairing down there. We are preparing ourselves also, up here in the middle of the state.

We're Home Again this morning!

Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers, Fay turned out to be a rain event and is now heading straight up the FL penninsula and then might turn to the west to cover the Panhandle with rain as well, or she might continue on through GA. Either way all that rain is a really good thing for this area, maybe they'll actually lift some of those water restrictions if enough rain falls in the mid and upper parts of this state!

Kirsten, how are you doing? It's your day today for the brunt of the wind and rain, right?
