Tropical Storm Fay continues its path across Florida, leaving several deaths and a flood of rain in its wake. Six people have now been confirmed dead as a result of the storm. Florida Governor Charlie Crist says the deaths range from driving accidents to drowning to carbon monoxide poisoning. The relentless rain maker has rained on Florida for five days now. Forecasters say Fay could move out into the Gulf of Mexico and then come ashore again in Florida's Panhandle. That would make a fourth landfall for Fay.
