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.
