I'll be meeting Fred this weekend...
There is a destructive nature about Fred. He comes and goes rather quickly and expected to leave the place a mess. Lots of people will be watching Fred, literally tracking his whereabouts as he plans to visit South Florida come this weekend.It's depressing to think about the whole thing, but that is the outlook for now. Currently Fred has passed over the Dominican Republic, Haiti and is kissing the eastern point of Cuba.
I've got the path of Fred right here:
If you haven't guessed by now, Fred is a storm.

I remember a similar map, except it had a black Sharpie leg drawn to include LA.
You & Fay stay safe. It look like it will affect both your areas.
Knowing the weekend wouldn't be good for flying, I went to the field today and got in 4 helicopter flights and will try the same Thursday and Friday.
Trading the time off I could be in the office Saturday.
It's going to skirt the west coast of Florida with tropical storm winds, probably less than 50mph gusts.
As expected the path slowed and drifted more west headed to the panhandle.
Some outer bands of rain came through here about 7pm. An upper level of clouds were moving quickly and the thunder sounded very different than a normal storm. More like cracking than rumble.
I'm charging batteries and heading to the flying field!
We've got Grace coming up next week!
Hopefully you guys will escape it, by the grace of mother nature.
I was right. By morning, Fred was reactivated and headed toward Alabama.
