Fay? Where?
Maybe the worst is yet to come, but here in South Okaloosa just off Mary Esther Fay's been a slightly blustery winter day, just warmer. The rain hasn't been more than a drizzle most of the time (and Weather Channel radar showed most of the heavy stuff disippating before it got close), and the wind hasn't been any stronger than a good thunderstorm. Around nine the wind was out of the west, maybe a little southwest, and it carried the scent of seawater (we're about 8000 feet in from the sound, and another 3800 or so to the gulf - not beachfront, but not really "inland").
