fay 2008
…but due to the effects of slow-moving Tropical Storm Fay, I will almost certainly not attempt to shoot the Florida State show this weekend.
Keep an eye on Deke’s site for any news about the show. As far as I know it’s still on.
As a brief aside, I wonder if it would be a good idea to give categories to tropical storms as well as hurricanes.
Fay has been a well-structured, well-fed, and very wet storm with winds consistently over 60 mph. That’s just not too far from hurricane strength and is deserving of more respect than, say, a 35-mph storm that has weak feeder bands, bad outflow, and an ill-defined center.
Fay would be, say, a “category 3 tropical storm” on a scale of one to three… “don’t panic, but take it seriously.”
