Tropical Storm Fay left Florida, but she continued to spread heavy rains throughout the South and created thousands of insurance claims, officials said.
The National Weather Center's Hydrometeorological Prediction Center, which is now tracking the storm instead of the National Hurricane Center, said Fay moved slowly through central Mississippi, but rains affected a region from as far west as Louisiana, east to the Florida panhandle, and as far north as South Carolina.
The storm, with sustained winds near 25 mph, is expected to weaken further over the next couple of days. Flash flood warnings were in effect for portions of Alabama, Mississippi, eastern Louisiana and the western Florida panhandle. Flood warnings were in effect for parts of northern Florida and southern Georgia.
