Hurricane Faye - headed for Jax?

Yikes! Faye has been churning through the Caribbean and is heading for the Keys as we speak. It's predicted to take a NE trajectory, but will hopefully stay further south. Whether this thing ends up being a hurricane or a tropical storm, I feel very unprepared. Jax is supposed to get heavy wind and rain beginning Wednesday evening -- right in time to cause delay or cancellation of somebody's flight home to MN perhaps?!? I'm keeping a close pulse on the weather updates...

THERE IS A 45 PERCENT CHANCE OF WINDS 34 KT /39 MPH/ OR GREATER. MOST LIKELY TO BEGIN BETWEEN 8 AM & 8 AM WED.

RESIDENTS CAN EXPECT MINOR FLOODING OF ROADS -- ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH POOR DRAINAGE. KNOWN INTERSECTIONS WITH VERY POOR DRAINAGE MAY HAVE WATER LEVELS UP TO 3 FEET. OTHER POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL HAVE WATER RISES OF 1 FOOT.

ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WATCH AREA BEGINNING TUES AFTERNOON.
