Fay Sets Record
August 23rd, 2008 by flanewsTropical Storm Fay has made landfall in Florida a record four times this week. The previous record holder was Hurricane Gordon which hit the state three times in 1994. Fay has been in Florida for almost six days now. State Meteorologist Ben Nelson said the storm could move into the Gulf of Mexico and make landfall again tonight.
“This is really unprecedented and towards midnight tonight we could have a 5th impact in the Pensacola area for Tropical Storm Fay as it traverses the panhandle coast,” said Nelson.
Besides Fay, meteorologists are also watching two more storms near the Virgin Islands that could strike Florida next week.
