Tropical Storm Fay Exposes Treasure Along Florida’s Coast
We’ve been getting a lot of emails here at TreasureHunting.com about Tropical Storm Fay. And we’re actually doing pretty alright. Buried deep in St. Cloud, Florida, we’ve had a lot of rain and wind but nothing disastrous.
Our friends on Florida’s beloved “Treasure Coast” are not doing so well. St. Lucie County officials have doubled their earlier estimates of flood damage from Fay while homes in Ft. Pierce are the hardest hit and flooded.
Fay’s has quickly been reported as the worst flooding Florida has ever seen. Linda Hargrove of Suntree, Florida says 13 inches of water had to be dumped out of her pool in a 24 hour period. Winds of 45 miles per hour were reported as early as this morning, while winds of 60 miles per hour were reported yesterday. And if that wasn’t enough - Cap Canaveral reported that 22.83 inches of rain had fallen in the last three days, while Melbourne reported 26.65 inches of rain fall.
Either way, this is no fun and we’re ready for it to stop raining. Thankfully, we’re high and dry and have power, but we feel bad for the rest of our fellow Floridians.
