Tropical Storm Fay


TS Fay has hit our state this week. Fay has been one of the most unpredictable storms. The path it was predicted to follow is constantly changing. Now, it has stalled over Cape C. Because of this it has rained almost 2 feet in 24 hours, there is alot of flooding, there have been a few tornadoes and the beach erosion on the coast is almost 3 feet.
We have received a lot of rain, but there is no real flooding in our area. The winds were only around 30-40 mph and the storm passed at night.
This weekend we went out to stock up on some supplies and they had run out of water. We had to buy the 10 gallon water jugs and we don't have the equipment to put them in. Batteries and flashlights were sold out in many stores.
