Re: Fay Loves Central Florida

If the COC is over Daytona, then the south end of the eyewall is over New Smyrna. We are getting soaked and there are constant wind gusts. Not that we can complain as Brevard county has been getting this for three days whereas we have been getting it only since this afternoon as we spent the past three days mostly in the middle of the COC. We do now also have flash flood warnings and it does not look like things will be getting better anytime soon.

I am looking at a doppler radar of the rain bands and I am wondering:

Could it be that Fay is getting energy and moisture from the Atlantic AND the Gulf at the same time?!

BTW - I just checked the NHC track forecast: Fay will likely make a 4th landfall in Florida.
