Tropical Storm Fay

Monday: There was much anticipation at work that we might get Tuesday off because of the Tropical Storm moving towards central Florida.

Originally weather forecasters expected Fay to strengthen into a Hurricane and hit SW Florida.

Tuesday: We received the day off work, but most of the day just received light rain. In the evening Fay grew stronger with heavier winds and rain.

Wednesday: More rain and wind from Fay

Thursday: More rain and wind. By this time I think most central Floridians were waiting for the storm to clear on out. About 40 miles to the East of where I live along the coast they have seen the worst flooding. The storm stalled out in the Atlantic and just kept pouring down the rain along Florida's east coast.

Friday: Above is a picture I took out my window around 8am this morning. Fay is now moving west. There has been a lot of talk over the past year about the need for more water to sustain the growing population of Central Florida. This storm has certainly helped bring Florida more water.

God is good and the provider of all water. I find it amazing how God sustains the earth and how little we sometimes thank Him for His abundant provision.

Hurricanes

This time of year in Florida is known as "Hurricane Season".

Hurricane season lasts for about half a year. I think June 1st- November 1st. Normally the stronger storms form in the Atlantic in the later part of the season.

One website that I frequent about 2 times each day during this time of year is http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ where they give a great breakdown of the current Atlantic hurricane outlook.

In 2004 the year I first moved down here Orlando was hit by 3 hurricanes. The picture (above) is of the first rain/thunder band from Hurricane Charlie as it approached my apartment in 2004.

Job chapter 38 reminds us of God's control over the weather.
