As unpredictable as tropical storms and hurricanes may be, please take heed. The state of Florida is now under a state of emergency, and everyone is strongly urged to evacuate. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch are in effect for Craig Key west to the Dry Tortugas. A hurricane watch is also in effect for the majority of the Keys and south and southwest Florida. Please, let's not have another disaster and fiasco like Hurricane Katrina! Just get to safety now!
Fay is projected to only be a Tropical Storm when she hits, so looking at her girth we'll mainly be getting a lot of water. And we're pretty used to that. I have kept a weather eye out and I've not seen an evac order, though.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the AP has updated this article a lot since I read it earlier today, but this is where I got the info: Visitors urged to leave Florida Keys ahead of Fay.
ReplyDeleteAre you in that area, Pam?
No, not at all; we're in south Florida, but further up, in Broward county. Evacuation of the Keys in the face of the storm is understandable... but most won't go, betcha. They've seen a lot worse. ;)
ReplyDeleteBe safe, everyone. Fingers crossed for you all, up here in Canuckia...
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope there'll not be another Katrina. Wishing every well.
