The NOAA is tracking the storm as always and while Floridians are bracing for the storm others won't get too excited as many have the attitude that a possible category 1 hurricane is not that difficult if you have been through the storms before. Remember right now this is still classified as a Tropical Storm.


The Associated Press notes that many in the state of Florida are not that concerned just yet and they are casual and are taking the attitude of "wait and see" on Fay. Authorities warn against this kind of thinking. The Sun-Sentinel notes that Tropical Storm Fay made landfall over Key West on Monday afternoon.
