I'll be updating conditions in my area (as long as there is power of course) on my blog at: http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JM2/show.html
On the right side-bar you'll notice some local home-based weather data collection stations where you can get some good info.

North Miami Beach - Bobbi

Very beautiful at the beach, strong rolling waves, heavy surf and got heavy fast. 10am was nothing, by Noon looked like a real storm was really out there..
Had a strong band come through before, now quiet but barometer dropping and getting windy and layers of clouds coming in..
I see it on radar, i saw it at the beach.. telling you this is more than 45mph.. id say 55.. don't laugh, for sure 50 and yet it doesn't seem to show when recon is in...
might not be a cane but you can tell something is happening..constantly heavy wind and has that feel
Band looks like it is about to blow in, trees really moving about wildly.
thats all for now, i lose power easily so one good gust and i am gone.. will read the board on the sidekick

Re: Ernesto Conditions in Your Area-Miami

Had one heavy band of rain earlier and then relatively quiet. Nice wind... No one outside, everyone seems to be going with staying in and eating their hurricane supplies up I suppose.
A strong band is to my east about to come in and the Christmas Palms in front of my house are rattling and dancing in the not so strong breeze.
Let's see what this band has to say.
Surfer weather for now... waiting to see if there is any real weather here..

TV (ABC and NBC affilates) are reporting that the power to Everglades City went out during an earlier squall.
So far we have just had some rather ho hum rain. Keeping my eye on the radar. We are under a tornado watch. After Wilma this should be better, but the anticipation is not fun. I always wonder if I have done enough. Our county did open some shelters for those who still have not recovered from Wilma.

Greetings from Key Colony Beach MM 51 US1; it's nearly 8pm and finally I feel like I'm in a tropical storm, it is TINY. Wind due north nearing 25-30 knots above (not at the surface) and steady like it should be.

Almost 11pm, still calm in Orlando. Maybe a couple quick wind gusts, but nothing that would indicate anything more than a "usual/typical" storm.

Re: Ernesto Conditions in Your Area

Good morning from Naples, where we currently have light rain and light wind. That's all. I even slept through it. Hope that it stays the same as it travels northward. I used to live in PA and was there for Agnes in 1972 so I know what a tropical storm can do when it gets stuck up and becomes a major rain event.
Let's pray that this is the worst anyone sees of Ernesto. Stay safe eveyone and have a great day!

Ernesto is a big rainstorm. Basically a non-event. We had some rain overnight. Barometer is 29.7 and down a bit from last night. We have a breeze of about 9 MPH with rare gusts to 18. Right now: zero rain. Radar shows heavy banding across Marco Island and Everglades City.

I'm on the Cape Haze peninsula of Charlotte County, and it's overcast, but barely any breeze at all. I don't know if we'll get any rain later or not.

Watch the weather radar -- see the Cape Haze peninsula? (It's there west of Charlotte Harbor.) It's showing rain over us -- NOTHING. My rain gauge is DRY. *LOL*
I watched it this morning when I got up, it looks like the storms kind of "skip" us, sometimes actually going around us, or dying and reforming on either side of us. Not surprising, regular t-storms tend to do this to us to unless it's a well-defined line of them. But it's very common for t-storms coming from the Gulf to go up the harbor and miss us, or from the east to slide down the harbor out to the Gulf.
Update: 10:19am
It's FINALLY started sprinking. Sprinkling. Barely. *LOL*

I guess Ernesto is done at least over here in Naples. Got some rain and some wind overnight.
Today's been quite calm with some light rain but overall, glad that Ernesto didn't strengthen cuz it coulda been alot worse.

Just scattered rain in Orlando thus far. They said we'd get the "brunt" in late afternoon/early evening.
Just overcast here most of the day, not much wind yet. I assume we will see more action in a couple hours. We NEED the rain from this storm.
Oops, just "heard" the first real "wind" of the day. It shan't be long, I would guess...

Where I live in Collier County (aka Naples) we have a very heavy rain ongoing for no less than 20 minutes. We had already received 3 inches of rain before this episode of heavy rain. Checking some live instrumentation at a local Fire house not far away the rate of rain fall is about an inch per hour.
Ernesto the rainmaker. Glad we have a home well above the flood plain. I would expect if this rate is holding true along some nearby roadways, they will be covered by water.

Re: Ernesto Conditions in Your Area

Beware the back end of the storm! As Trudy mentioned above, Naples has seen heavy rain for the last couple of hours. We also had a t-storm and wind - nothing significant, but the most we've had all day. I-75 is a mess with what is being called storm-related crashes. We've had about 6" of rain at my house (inland Collier County, about 15 miles SW of Immokalee).
Stay safe everyone!

Just had a couple of interesting squalls come through St. Cloud (Osceola County) decent rain and 20 - 25 mph wind coming out of NNE - - some dead fronds down near the lake front and white caps on the lake - - glad we were prepared - - excellent dress rehearsal for the next one.

Re: Ernesto Conditions in Your Area

Here on the east coast directly across from Lake Okeechobee, around 7pm we experienced high winds and very heavy rain for about 30 minutes. Ever since, its been constant rain and I'd say winds gusting up to 30+mph.
Where we're located, seems storm is moving over us to the N/E and the back side of Ernesto was MUCH stronger than the front!

Around 4 am this morning I think, no glasses to see, we had a very windy squal come through, It did not last very long but I would estimate the winds to be about 35-40mph but it was racing very fast. It merely sounded like a window washer with a pressure hose attacking my window from the Northwest

Everything right now in the Tampa/ Clearwater area is calm, just another summer day. Some rain this morning with a few squalls and some mild breezes from the Gulf, but all cleared out now. Might be some more coming in later (according to radar). The worst weather we saw was that first feeder band with all the lightning 48 hrs ago. After that, it was happily pretty lame.

Re: Ernesto Conditions in Your Area

Here in MD a lot of the damage was only semi-related to Ernesto due to other atmospheric factors creating a massive pressure gradient and thus sustained 35-40mph winds from the northeast - winds lasted over 24 hours, but were at their peak for less than 12.
We had 4 foot tides (based on NOAA readings). A neighbor's boat washed off their peir onto our beach - we managed to get it back to their peir and on their lift, but it had a lot of damage. Ourselves - we had some washout on a low bench (designed to protect the main part of our property from storms), but the we're entirely intact otherwise. Some settling along the bulkhead (it's was a new a year ago, so the dirt is still compacting with every major rain storm). Our neighbors, however, all had wash out, with some locations having significant washout behind their bulkheads. The beach had many of it's marsh grasses severed at the root, and peices of many peirs are now sitting on the beach. Lot's of power outages in the area, but we never lost power for more than a handfull of seconds - luckily.
I'm on the Chesapeake near Annapolis, to give you some orientation.
This station is just north of us and has full NE exposure to the winds (unlike the NOAA stations): http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KMDPASAD5
