A letter from my friend on Marco Island, Fla
Posted: (August 19, 2008 07:56 pm)
Hi Rita: Okay, real quickly I'll give you all an update on the tropical storm/hurricane fay. First of all, i have no idea how my power is still working, because transformers have blown all over the island, and my lights and cable dont work. Yet my a/c,internet and clocks, all still work! It's been blowing here at 60-70 mph with gusts a little higher than that, for over 3 hours now. It's absolutly insane!! (and awesome at the same time)
We are all good, the house is fine and from what i can see the landscaping and so forth is alll fine too. The sad part is that at some point Sweepea got out of our protection and is outside some where :( . Hope he's all right, the backyards underwater.
Our street is completely under water as well.
But that's the quick update, and don't worry, we are all safe.
Talk soon!
Nancy

A quick Update!
Fay has started to stall a little, and make an easterly path, unlike the western cone the forcast has given it all week.
It looks like Tropical Storm Fay will not become a hurricane, but will make landfall some where between Naples, Marco (us) and south of us, some where between 2 and 4am. The winds are expected to be between 40 and 65 mph, which isn't enough to cause structural damage.
We'll have a stormy night and morning, but by 1-2pm Tuesday, I should be looking at a sunny end to my birthday!
Well, that's the update!
