TROPICAL STORM FAY MADE LANDFALL THIS MORNING FOR A RECORD, FOURTH TIME ON FLORIDA'S PANHANDLE. THE HEAVY RAINS CAME IN AS EXPECTED IN ST. MARKS, FLORIDA WHERE WINDS AND RAIN HAD WATER RISING UP FAST JUST 15-MILES SOUTH OF TALLAHASSEE. SINCE HURRICANE DENNIS, PEOPLE IN THE AREA HAVE LEARNED TO BE PREPARED FOR SEVERE WEATHER, BUT THEY ALSO KNOW TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED AS WELL. THOUGH FAY NEVER BECAME A HURRICANE, DOWNPOURS ALONG ITS ZIGZAGGING PATH HAVE BEEN PUNISHING AND DEADLY. FLORIDA OFFICIALS SAY AT LEAST ELEVEN PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM FAY'S TREK ACROSS THE STATE. |
