Fay, Fay Go Away!

We had a record registration for our fall season last Saturday and were very excited about Tuesday and Thursday’s registrations. Unfortunately, Fay decided she didn’t want us to complete the registrations on those days! That means we have only Saturday again and tons of players to register, it will be a very busy day.

Fay dumped about 30 inches of rain on Melbourne, and at least 15″ on us here. The roads in our neighborhood have cracked and the sand washed out from under them. They are reduced to rubble. The houses behind us have water half way up their driveways and the retention ponds are over their lips.

Personally, we have leaking around the exterior of our house and our bonus room is leaking into one of the bedrooms. It is raining so hard and horizontal that rain is leaking through the soffits. We are lucky, anyone who has seen the pictures of Merritt Island, Melbourne, and Sanford knows we are lucky.

We drove around the neighborhood and the new water drainage systems they installed after the hurricanes seem to have worked. At least we do not have many houses under water as we did before.

Fay came, and she won’t leave! Everyone who lives in Florida has a guest like that, now we all do! So Fay GO AWAY!

Who thinks Fay is going to go into the Gulf and return?
