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

One of the reasons Fay is maintaining or even gaining strength is the topography of south Florida. This region is dominated by the Everglades and Lake Okechobee which provides adequate fuel to sustain a troipical system. A good example was Andrew (1992) which entered southeast Florida as a Cat 4/5 and exited southwest Florida as a Cat 2.
