It's the sixth named storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It's blamed for 36 deaths. The damages done by Fay is estimated at USD180 million.
Formed from a vigorous tropical wave on August 15 over the Dominican Republic, Fay passed over the island of Hispaniola, Gulf of Gonave, island of Cuba and Florida .
Get this;
- August 18, Fay made a landfall on Florida Keys then veered into the Gulf of Mexico.
- August 19, Fay made a landfall near Naples, Florida then went northeast to Florida Peninsula.
- August 20, Fay emerged into Atlantic Ocean near Melbourne.
- August 21, Fay re-entered near Daytona Beach then crossed Gainesville and Panama City, Florida to Panhandle.
- Fay weakened on August 26.
Jahatnye Fay.
Yet,
"Heavy rains from Tropical Storm Fay are alleviating a drought that has bedeviled the Southeast for years, and another storm on the horizon could help even further, National Weather Service experts said Monday."
