UPDATE: In the end, this storm zigzagged across the state from top to bottom and hit it a total of four times, breaking all previous records.
People used to be able to pretend that Nature ran on autopilot. Not anymore. Three hits from the same storm? Wap. Wap. Wap! WAKE UP AMERICAN JEWS!!
Tropical Storm Fay expected to hit Fla. 3rd time
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Tropical Storm Fay lumbered offshore for what was likely to be a brief stay over the Atlantic Ocean's energizing waters after flooding hundreds of homes, trapping residents and leaving much of Florida a soggy mess.
Forecasters expected the storm to complete its zig-zag course by hitting the state for a third time in a week, along with Georgia, but didn't think it would strengthen to a hurricane over the open waters.
The storm flooded hundreds of homes in Brevard and St. Lucie counties, some with up to 5 feet of water, forcing dozens of rescues. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was reviewing Gov. Charlie Crist's request for a federal emergency disaster declaration to defray rising debris and response costs.
"I want to stress that this storm is becoming a serious catastrophic flooding event," Crist said.
Well now that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. ;)
