This August 20, 2008 NOAA satellite image shows Tropical Storm Fay located south of Cape Canaveral, Florida. Tropical Storm Fay was heading eastward toward Florida's Atlantic coast early August 20, with forecasters saying it will more than likely make a return trip to the waterlogged state after it finally moves offshore."This storm is going to be with us for a while. That's obvious now," Florida Governor Charlie Crist said late Tuesday."It looks like it could be a boomerang storm." Forecasters said Fay may stick around through Thursday or later. Fay on Tuesday slammed into Florida's southwest coast, buffeting the Sunshine State with severe winds and drenching rains, while also spawning tornadoes and severe flooding.
