Tropical Storm Fay made landfall on Florida's West Coast at about 5 a.m. this morning.

Despite the continuing rain and howling wind, I set off for work this morning, only to find the roads were basically empty because the schools and government offices were closed. Of course, this apparently gave those on the road a false sense of security.

Even though it was pouring, about half the drivers insisted on driving without the aid of headlights, and several more decided that directionals were unnecessary.

Needless to say, I got to work just fine, and was quite thankful for the fact that I've got an underground parking garage to keep me dry.
