Land of Pleasant Living
Now why do you suppose anyone moves from Maryland to Florida? Or vacations there in hurricane season?
Here: Dry, sunny skies, with highs near 80 degrees. Yesterday's high at BWI was just 81 degrees. (We held at 79 here at The Sun.) Cool nights. Silent air conditioners.
There: Tropical Storm Fay slows to a crawl, dumping staggering volumes of water on the central part of the state. Rain rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour. Totals well into double digits. And 4 to 8 inches more before the storm moves back across the state toward the Gulf.
Here's the latest advisory. Here's the wacky forecast storm track. And here's the view from space.
There's a menu of warnings and statements now up for residents of Melbourne. And here's a Cape Canaveral beach cam. Scary.
So come back, all you sun seekers. We forgive you. The beaches here are sunny, the water's fine. The basement is dry.
