Yes, and what you've said about Ft Meyers and Fay's landing is important.
Tropical Storms are harbingers of rain.
Look at Texas now. Every day since Dolly/Edouard somewhere in Texas has gotten 10 inches
in a day it seems.

And I think that another important story overlooked is that August is more favorable for
Tropical Storms in the Mobile to Galveston area.
And the Hurricane Center has been treating Fay like it's a Mid September Storm. Ready to break East
or North.
