Many people from other parts of the United States and the world are following this blog and have expressed concern for us over Tropical Storm Fay. This was my first encounter with any named storm. We don't name tornadoes or blizzards in Indiana, but maybe we should because it's the polite thing to do.
Besides a steady diet of rain and wind (a little bit of flooding in parts), Fay didn't effect us too much. Thank you for all the calls and emails we continue to receive but we are all doing just fine.
One thing I have learned, don't watch the local news. Meteorologists are excited as kids on Christmas morning when a storm with a name is anywhere close by. They love the hype and getting their mugs on TV more than getting factual information to the public.
Actually, Fay has been a godsend to the area of South Florida. Lake Okeechobee, our main source for water, has been seriously low for over a year and Fay is projected to refill it to a much better level.
