Fay just east of Daytona Beach

Fay is pounding the shores of Volusia county and is dropping torrential rains. A good part of Brevard County is flooded out, with reports of up to 25" of rain in Melbourne!!! Winds are up to 60 mph. Rain has currently spread up to Valdosta and Waycross, Georgia.

The Tropical Storm Watch from the Altamaha Sound to the SC/GA border has been replaced with a Warning, which includes the Savannah area.

The track takes Fay skirting along the Gulf of Mexico Coast, either just onland or just in the water. We'll have to wait and see because as of now she is not moving.

5 PM UPDATE: Fay has made her third Florida landfall near Flagler Beach. Her winds are still 60 mph and the pressure is 993 mb.

Because the storm is still holding so well together, a tropical storm watch has been issued for Dixie, Taylor, Jefferson, Wakulla and Franklin Counties (where Eastern Time becomes Central Time), basically the big bend of Florida. The track is right along the Gulf so if it goes over land, it'll be a depression, and if it goes over water, it might regain Tropical Storm status (assuming it loses that status across Florida).
