A Wet Nasty Day Here In Orlando....FAY UPDATE

[rsmith6621]

......Well the NWS/NHS got this one wrong......Fay has done a 360 from what was forecasted two days ago...they....first they said it would emerge from an appearance over Cuba turn into a CAT1 hurricane and then skirt the FL Gulf coast intensify and make landfall around Pensacola as a 2 or 3......then around Cross City then north of Tampa....then St Pete.....Ft Meyers and finally made land fall at Naples as a moderate TS with winds at 58kts..... It made land this morning at around 5am and surprised the forecasters when it finally developed an eye and is now at 68knt 85 miles southeast of Orlando.....Currently it is raining hard however the winds are not as strong as predicted....it is going to get wetter here in MickeyTown as the night move on and the eye of Fay gets closer.....

They are predicting that it will be out to sea tomorrow and then develop as a CAT1 hurricane and then hit Jacksonville on Friday/Sat however in the development it may make thing interesting again here in Orlando.
