Well, for being in our new home state of Florida for such a short amount of time, we have discovered the excitement of tropical storms.  Or tropical storm Fay, to be exact.  For all my family and friends, I thought I'd share a few photos of what Fay looks like from our home.  Thankfully, it didn't enter our area as a hurricane, but my, it was still plenty to deal with!

This photo was taken yesterday (Thursday, Aug. 21) in the afternoon.  Fay is just starting to get going...

Ok, this is pretty much the same photo, but what can I say... I was getting rained on!

This photo is taken from the rear of our home.  The rain was making the pond raise at approximately 1 inch per hour.  I took this photo this morning.

And here we are with a slightly different angle.

Fay seems to be slowing down somewhat right now.  It is still pounding down rain, but there are intermittent bursts where it isn't bad, and sometimes it isn't even raining at all.  During one of those breaks, I drove to the local Winn-Dixie and got some food and a movie for tonight.  I noticed several large trees down and water everywhere, but all in all, it wasn't too bad.  We are very happy to have a solid roof over our heads for sure...
