Re: Fay Continued, Hurricane Watches Extended Northward

"Hit" is a relative term.
This is not like a tornado where there is a single definitive impact point, it is a wide storm.
If you are within the cone, you will feel some effects which can be occasional thunderstorms to constant thunderstorms and high winds.
It is possible for a tornado to spawn within a storm cell.
I'm sure you've been through a few of our afternoon storms, this won't be a whole lot different unless the center goes right over you.
