CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. –  Launch Pad 39A seems to be an island in the high water surrounding it caused by Tropical Storm Fay. In the distance is the Atlantic Ocean.  The storm passed over the center Aug. 20 and then stalled offshore, bringing with it heavy rain and tropical storm force wind.  Kennedy closed Aug. 19 because of Fay and reopened for normal operations Aug. 22.  Based on initial assessments, there was no damage to space flight hardware, such as the space shuttles and Hubble Space Telescope equipment. Some facilities did sustain minor damage.
