Jim;

Yes, as soon as I heard about the storm's name I thought about Annie Fay; yes, I think her spirit is very much alive among us all.

Fay is one of those storms that could truly do anything. This afternoon I heard it was stalled just off the Cape; models have it going north or northwest or north-northwest, etc. If it drifts just a bit east it will hit the very warm gulf stream and strengthen. It is one of the few storms that developed an eye over land-becoming more organized as it crossed south Florida near the lake. I have lived in the hurricane belt my entire life, save a couple years in school and a year in Russia. Because of the storm, our weather in St. Pete has been the best except for heavy cloud cover-the storm is sucking up all the moisture, humidity and dropping our temps almost 20 degrees. My prayers are with everyone in the path and being affected by the forces.
