Well, at 7:45 am Fay was sitting over Gainesville on its walk (6 mph) across the state on its way to the Gulf. We're still getting TS winds and lots of rain. Last night, I sat out on the lanei and watched the trees sway on the golf course. So far, no major damage around here but parts of Central Florida are under water. Bob, send the scuba gear!

This has been a long week. We've been under Fay's influence since Monday and it looks like it will be another 24 hours before we're out from under her "spell". I have some roof repairs to get to before the next one arrives, probably next week. Welcome to Hurricane season in Florida. Hope everyone elsewhere is dry and healthy.

Treading water in Florida,

Jim
