Time for another update from the east coast of Central Florida...Brevard County to be exact.
The last time I gave an update was about 4 hours ago. At that time, there wasn't much to talk about, however, things have intensified. We've been receiving alot of rain with intermittent gusts of 40 to 45 mph wind for the last 3 hours. There have been some tornado alerts and periodic wind gusts reaching 60 mph. Most of my transportable plants were brought in for shelter. There were a few freshly planted trees that had to remain outside. Among them, a young mango which I staked and tied for extra support last evening. So far every thing is fairing well. The neighbor's trees have dropped alot of debris.
My residence is about 5 miles inland. The storm has had a more intense impact along the coastal areas where there have been a few power outages and some beach erosion. A nearby trailer park reported 50 homes damaged by a tornado.
The storm is supposed to continue passing
through Brevard for next several hours. All the rain should make for a good nights sleep.
To all my OB neighbors in Fay's path,
"Be Safe".
