 National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report
Tropical Storm Fay was a short-lived cyclone that made landfall along the central Texas producing widespread heavy rainfall and inland flooding.
In addition, after the center of Fay moved inland, the converted flight-level-to-surface wind speed estimate of 62 kt (Figure 2) that was observed over land on 7 September was not considered to be representative since it was associated with a large nocturnal thunderstorm complex and little or no thunderstorm activity existed over water.
While Fay was only a moderate tropical storm, a combination of the long duration of tropical storm force winds and isolated tornadoes resulted in damage to more than 800 single-family homes, 100 multi-family buildings, and nearly 100 businesses in Brazoria County.
