And off to the east, Fay soaks parts of Florida
Tropical Storm Fay moved inland today after making landfall in southwest Florida, bringing soaking rains and gusty winds but failing to reach the minimal hurricane status that had been predicted.
Streets were largely deserted in the early morning hours in Naples. Rain swept across desolate streets that were littered with palm fronds and other minor debris, and there was street flooding in spots but no immediate reports of storm surge damage.
Diana Eslick, an assistant manager at a 7-Eleven near the beach in Naples, said the storm hadn’t disrupted her morning at work.
“So far it’s going good. We have power and everything,” she said. “It’s just been windy and rainy.”
