I’m home today, thanks to Tropical Storm Fay. All of the counties surrounding Tampa Bay announced they’d be canceling school today. For some kids, today was to be the first day of school…my kids are happy to be at home! The weather actually isn’t bad at all, but there was no way of knowing what it would be like when I woke up this morning. I called the Emergency Info line for work and was told it would be business as usual, but that employees were also free to stay at home. With the kids here, and it being such a long drive, I decided this was the place for me.

I don’t even think we’ll get any rain tonight, unless the storm swings back over to this coast. She’s not letting up just yet though - even over land she’s still at 65 MPH.
