Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Dear friends, Parts of the South East of the USA have been inundated by flooding in the wake of the tropical storm Fay making landfall in Florida on August 19, 2008. While no prediction was explicitly made to warn of this, we know from previous work with the SAMVA USA chart (Perpetual Union) that weather conditions tend to get extreme when the major FMs in the chart become afflicted and Venus also is involved. Fay's 4th Florida landfall is one for record books By BRENDAN FARRINGTON, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 27 minutes ago STEINHATCHEE, Fla. - Tropical Storm Fay crossed into the Florida Panhandle on Saturday, becoming the first storm of its kind in recorded history to hit the state four different times. Fay's center made landfall around 1 a.m. EDT about 15 miles north-northeast of Apalachicola, Fla., according to the National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center. Fay was expected to skirt across the Panhandle's coast Saturday and the coast of Mississippi and Alabama on Sunday, forecasters said. Though Fay never materialized into a hurricane, its zigzagging downpours have been punishing and deadly. At least six people in Florida were dead from the storm, state officials said, and two more deaths reported Friday were believed to be Fay-related. The state attributed an additional death, before the storm hit, to hurricane preparedness after a man testing generators died of carbon monoxide poisoning. http://www.webcitation.org/5aHy8Zxjf Presently, the following is going on in the chart: Venus-Jupiter period is operating - transit 6th JUPITER in Sagittarius and the 6th house is aspecting transit 8th lord SATURN in Leo and 2nd house, with both being afflicted by natal RAHU in Aries and the 10th house - transit stationary RAHU is conjunct 2nd lord SUN in Capricorn and 7th house - transit 4th lord VENUS (indicator of weather) in late Leo and 2nd house has been passing through the aspect of natal Saturn in Scorpio and the 5th house since August 19th - and the aspect became exact earlier today! - transit 3rd lord MERCURY (indicator of transportation) in late Leo and 2nd house has been passing through the aspect of natal Saturn in Scorpio and the 5th house Tropical Storm Fay is a tropical storm and the sixth named storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. Fay formed from a vigorous tropical wave on August 15 over the Dominican Republic. It passed over the island of Hispaniola, into the Gulf of Gonâve, across the island of Cuba, and made landfall on the Florida Keys late in the afternoon of August 18 before veering into the Gulf of Mexico. It again made landfall near Naples in the early hours of August 19 and progressed northeast through the Florida peninsula, emerging into the Atlantic Ocean near Melbourne on August 20. Extensive flooding took place in parts of Florida as a result of its slow movement. On August 21, it re-entered near Daytona Beach, moving due west across the Panhandle, crossing Gainesville. On August 22 at 8pm EDT, Fay was predicted[1] to continue generally westward, then linger near Natchez or Baton Rouge for 2 days, before heading NNE through Tennessee. As it zigzagged from water to land, it became the first storm in Florida recorded history to make landfall four times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Fay_(2008) Best wishes, Thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
