Default Re: Fay, West Florida Landfall possible?

Yes, good luck to everyone in Florida or wherever she ends up going. Not growing up along the coast, hurricanes were new to me when I moved to Houston a few years back. We evacuated when Rita came through and that was about the worst experience of my life. I certainly don't want to repeat it any time soon. We lucked out with Eduoard a couple of weeks back and only got about 2" of much needed rain.

Just an aside on your quote here, Dean. Where does the word unscathed come from? We've all heard it and probably used it all our lives but we only use unscathed. You always hear, "They escaped unscathed." You never hear of anyone being scathed! "Man that storm, wreck, etc. was terrible! Everyone was scathed!" I've just always found that to be an odd word-I'm not picking on you, Dean. Just a funny little thing of mine.
