Hurricane Fay

Pleasure seekers may receive more than they bargained for. Let's get one thing straight: Kevin Kearney is an experienced kite surfer. For those not familiar with the sport, a kite surfer stands on a small surfboard while harnessed to a sail. When the wind catches the sail, the surfer is pulled along the surface of the water at thrilling speeds. According to Wikipedia.com, the number of kite surfers has grown to about 200,000. Kevin Kearney must have been looking for the ultimate thrill when... Read Full Story

It’s incredible the devastation incurred by Tropical Storm Fay as she slowly swept through Florida.  Normally, with a Tropical Storm or Hurricane, we’re hit with sporadic rain from the bands.  But not with Fay.  It was a consistent bombardment of rain.  Daily rain totals consistently went into double digits.  In the 20+ years that I’ve lived in Central Florida, I never before witnessed this.  The following are some pictures that I took today, October 19, 2008, of homes on Lake Jessup in...

Blog Prompt: Tell about the worse movies you have ever seen. I cannot deal with the “F” word being said every other word in a movie, so I stay away from them if possible.  To say I have seen a really bad movie lately, I would have to say no.  I usually check out the movie before I watch it.  I have seen good movies using the “F” word a lot and it was really hard for me to watch it, but the story was really great!  I just can’t be open minded when it comes to that. I want to be... Read Full Story

Tropical Storm Fay . We may or may not get hit by Tropical Storm Fay. Current forecasts call for it to drift up the western coastline of Florida before crossing over the panhandle into Georgia. Right now, we are praying Tropical Storm Fay doesn’t become Hurricane Fay. I’m sure the people in Florida are praying for this also. What we fear is if the storm stalls in the gulf. That would be something we do not want to see. It would gather strength in the warm gulf and, as those that followed the... Read Full Story

A friend of mine, Dade Brantley, just posted video of what Tropical Storm Fay looked like over on Saint Simons Island. I go over there a lot and it was eye opening to see the flooding. Imagine what it would look like if a Tropical Storm or Class One Hurricane made landfall. The seven minute piece opens with him driving over the causeway to the island. Then he goes to the village and shoots the waves crashing over the seawall and into the land. We get to see some houses and cars flooded and he... Read Full Story

This morning Tropical Storm Fay is inland, about 30 miles east of Ft. Myers, 45 miles east of Pine Island. We're having some blustery winds (about 30 mph) and scattered bands of rain. Lots of hurricane prep was done yesterday, but there appear to be no consequences from the storm, not even branches down. Tropical Storms are often the equivalent of "snow days" up north, a chance to take a day off from normal responsibilities, maybe we'll go bowling or to a movie! Here is a photo taken at...
