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.
