There she blows !!!

Tropical Storm Fay looks to be providing some extra treats for Georgia this coming week - 15-20mph winds from Tuesday through to Saturday. Peaks could be up to 40mph:

If we're lucky she may dump her rain on Valdosta before getting up here.

Could be a good week....

I was thinking "lucky" would be it parking over NE Ga and unloading. It'l only take ~13 ft of water to float my boat:

It definitely looks like it might stall out over Georgia. I hope it goes far enough north.

Odd gal, Fay. Well after coming on shore, the radar seemed to show a more defined eye. Warm Everglades water? Odd too to have a GA landfall (looks like it could happen)... it's rare:

May have to make a road trip to the panhandle. Mid day Friday. Trey
