Why tropical storm fay?

Question

why is everyone asking questions about it?! its really annoying...i live in south florida and im not asking a question like "is tropical strom fay going to hit jupiter"?

Answer 1

If you don't like it, don't answer them.  Congratulations that you are not worried but many people are and they have every right to be.  This storm only being a tropical storm has a huge disaster total and the potential for a hurricane makes it worse.  My apartment is right on the bay in Tampa so even a Cat 1 hurricane could total us.

re:Elizabeth H

It killed 54 people in the carribean because they live in worse conditions than us. They practically live in boxes so dont compare the carribean to rich south florida. And here in south florida we have had worse than a little category one hurricane and i dont understand why everyone is making such a big deal about it eighther.

ITN - 1 hour 49 minutes agoTropical Storm Fay, which has already killed at least 57 people in the Caribbean, has slammed into the Cuban coast.

It hit southwestern Cuba with 50 mile per hour winds and could drop as much as eight inches of rain as it crosses the island on a northward path.

The storm is expected to be approaching hurricane-strength, meaning minimum winds of 74 miles per hour, when it crashes into Florida within the next 24 hours.

Cuban officials have ordered the evacuation of low-lying parts of Havana, fearing that heavy rains and a storm surge from the Florida Straits could flood the Cuban capital and cause dilapidated buildings to collapse.

In the Florida Keys, tourists fleeing Fay, the sixth storm of the Atlantic cyclone season, created bumper-to-bumper traffic on the motorway out of the islands at the state's tip.
