Fay is dumping a ton of water on top of Jacksonville. Bridges are being closed. The Buckman bridge is under water and they have closed the naval base because of it last night. Intercoastal highway bridge is closed as of this morning. Part of I95 is closed due to a semi jackknifed in the road. Parts of Jacksonville are closed due to flooding. We are supposed to gt another 3-5 inches today if not more. The President has granted Florida an emergency declaration. It just keeps pouring and pouring. Three of the confirmed deaths attributed to Fay have been here in Duval county. Our backyard is standing water and it is seeping under the door. The Governor (Crist) has urged everyone not to get out in this mess. So we are staying put.

Hopefully it will stop for your sake. I would definitely keep an eye out. I hope you don't have too much damage when it is all over. Good luck to all of you down there. You have all been put through it with this storm.
