* THE TORNADO WILL BE NEAR... WELLINGTON... ROYAL PALM BEACH... LION COUNTRY SAFARI... AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.



Maybe the reason. These tornado warnings are popping like popcorn all over PBC and surrounding counties.

NBC-2 reported some trees down in Cape Coral...Doesn't seem very bad out there though....

The slower it goes and the farther east it makes it. The higher the chance it has to make the gfs come true. JMO.

This thing is crawing.

[AnthraX151]

Yeah maybe drifting a bit but it looks mostly stationary. Not a good situation if it continues to play out this way.

i gtota tell yo guys out there...I've been in Wellington for 21 years now...been through Frances, Jeanne, Wilma and all kinds of "storms of the century", but I don't think I've ever experienceed the dirty side of the storm. I live on Lake Wellington, and tonite there is a whole new meaning to Lake Effect weather. It is downright nasty. Just heard on the tv that one of the equestrian buildings just blew down...maybe alot of hype...but I don't know...pretty bad out here!

This surrrrrrrrrrreeee is reminiscent of an Alison type setup but backwards

damn, winds gotta be gusting to 50-60 right now...just lost 2 trees in the back yard...one fell on the screen...great...You guys have power in the Acreage still?

[AnthraX151]

Yep still have power. Winds and rain picking up again. no telling how long we will keep power. I hope we dont lose it cause ill lose all my fish if it stays off too long...Salty 75 gal tank and about 10 fish....Gotta keep power.

Should be making landfall by the 5 am advisory. Can't believe this thing is only 60 mph, w/ all that intense convection.

I have my doubts as well. If this isn't upped then I somewhat expect at least an upgrade to 70 mph if not higher in postseason.

[Cyclenall]

One amazing aspect of Fay is how many landfalls she could make during her lifetime. If she were to go out into the Atlantic again and then back into the Gulf and make a final landfall, it would be 6-7 landfalls in total (not sure on the "first" one for Cuba).

[fasterdisaster]

NOAA just gave 987 mb but like RL3AO said they've been low today. Still that's considerable strengthening even if only around 989-90.

Where are you in the acreage...?

[AnthraX151]

I say almost stationary and gaining strength from the warm waters. Granted NOAA has been low today but they pressures keep dropping regardless of whos measuring them.

Im at Avocado and 72'nd north of Orange by 2 Blocks.

[StJoe]

Anthrax...congrats and welcome to S2K...the best site for Fay and all the others. I'm over in Meadowland Cove off Big Blue...Lots of rain right now.

[Miami Storm]

Good evening or morning,

all the reports from eveyone is a surprise to me. Living in Westcheter just south of Sweet Water. Very little rain, no big winds or gusts. I have seen worse in a afternoon thunder storm. Wishing everyone else the best.

Eye clearing out and appears to be moving east.

[fasterdisaster]

Close to nil happening in Miami right now, light rain with a light breeze. Should change though

[AnthraX151]

More tornado warnings for PBC. Its gonna go like this all night I believe.

[StJoe]

the eye seems to be shifting east again...crazy freakin storm...I think she's pulling to the lake...she wants to play with us I guess...
