Tropical Storm Fay continues its deadly trek across the Florida panhandle. The storm has claimed about a dozen lives in Florida already and left thousands of homes flooded. As Whitney Ray tells us, emergency workers are asking people to be cautious.

Hear it Here: Fay Continues Its Deadly Trek Across Florida

Tropical Storm Fay downed trees and power lines as it moved across the capital city. A huge oak tree crashed through the roof of this home, just feet away from Richard Colzie.

“It just exploded, and I saw it coming down and I pretty much just ran to the door,” said Colzie.

No one was injured.

The people in this home were lucky, a downed tree 30 miles from the capitol killed an electrical worker.

At midday Saturday the death count was 10. Governor Charlie Crist thanked emergency workers and expressed sorrow for the man who died trying to restore power.

“Floridians are great people and they continue to put themselves out to help our fellow Floridians, especially in a time of need like this and we’re just enormously grateful and very very sorry for the loss of life,” said Crist.

Emergency crews in the panhandle spent the day clearing roads

“If you don’t need to be out, stay home,” said Leon County Sheriff’s Detective William Punansuia

People who did head out in Fay faced flooded streets and high winds. Some who stayed home spent the afternoon picking up the pieces. Emergency workers are asking people across the state to keep a close eye out for flash flooding and tornados.
