Stay Away Fay!

Yep, now under a Hurricane Watch. Yipee.
The following, taken from the news:

"The forecast track for the storm shifted Sunday evening to take Fay over the Gulf of Mexico and into Pinellas County, and just west of Tampa, on Tuesday evening, with winds near 85 mph and close enough to possibly bring hurricane-force gales to the coast.

The projected path exposes the Tampa Bay area to a more serious storm surge threat than if the storm had crawled up the peninsula east of Tampa, as earlier forecasts had predicted.

The new track puts the Tampa Bay area on the eastern side of the storm, where the winds are strongest and extend farthest from the center."

Looks like fun, huh?

Did I mention that Al is leaving on Monday morning for Ft. Lauderdale? By vehicle. Gotta love the military.

Don't even get me started about all the hype about the increased likelihood of going into labor during hurricanes and tropical storms.

So, baby bean, please stay put. Fay, please stay away!
