The 5PM forecast "track" has shifted ever so slightly to the West bringing Fay very near Venice/Sarasota on Tuesday afternoon - a little faster and slightly weaker than the previous forecast. It's still 4 -5 days out, so this track and intensity will vary as more data is collected for each model run. I'm making my preparations today and tomorrow before the last minute folks swamp the stores on Monday/Tuesday. As stated several times, everyone in the FL peninsula should be making preparations before Monday. Keep in mind that a Cat 1 storm is very survivable and some of us "old salts" would regard it as slightly more than a nuisance (with healthy respect, of course).
