Fay stalls over Florida leading to catastrophic flooding

Fay is moving at 2 miles per hour. On infra-red this storm looked very heavy and unusually saturated with moisture.

clipped from uk.reuters.com Fay had threatened to become a hurricane with top sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 kph) before crossing Key West at the end of the Florida Keys island chain on Monday and again on Tuesday before making a second U.S. landfall near Naples. It then stunned hurricane experts by gaining strength over land, and appeared likely to threaten the United States for the third time as a potential hurricane once it emerged over water off the Atlantic coast. "This storm is turning into a serious, catastrophic flooding event, particularly in southern Brevard County," Crist told reporters.
