Re: Fay Makes Landfall at Cape Romano as a Tropical Storm

I don't think either the everglades or Lake O help a system; neither are very deep so there is not much moisture to pull from. A storm like Andrew going from a 4/5 to a 2 which went over part of the evergalades, but nowhere near Lake O. The weakening would prove the opposite of your point.
