In Orlando it's rainy, not from directly, but from the offshoot "wing" band that has come from the system.

It rained quite a bit yesterday here in Sarasota. Right now it's just hot and humid here. I'm working on setting up an anemometer outside so if I see any high winds, I will post them. I sure hope dosen't decide to move a little further north.

Today it was humid and grey here in Seffner. We got some off and on showers but nothing major. I am sure the weather here will worsen as approaches.
Who wouldve thought we would have a TS Alpha in October?

A small rain band came thru around 3PM EDT here in NW Broward County just as I was getting the last of the shutters on. Everything is picked up and put away in the garage... now the real waiting beings. All day it's been hot, muggy, and generally overcast with a brief shower followed by sunshine peaking thru the fast moving clouds. Now that the shutters are up it will be hard to report conditions other than "dark"

Light rain, thunder and lightning here in Tampa, but I'm in what I call the "triangle of protection" bordered on three sides by I-75, I-275 and I-4...it always seems the the worse of these storms stays to the S or E of us...not sure why, but it does. I've watched a band on radar come our way then slide west and miss us.

Our first squall just passed us in Pinellas County bringing brief heavy rain and lightning. Our winds are still very light right now, leveling off at around 10mph over the past few hours...nothing unusual this far in advance of a tropical cyclone. According to the NWS out of Ruskin, tropical storm force winds will commence around 5am Monday morning here in the Tampa Bay area, with possible gusts to 65mph between 7-11am. I will report again around 8am Monday morning. God bless...

Rain with sparce sprinkly rain in Pine Hills.
However... with 115 mile an Hour Winds - and an eye wall of 40 mile diameter... makes you wonder if there will be a florida Key left. Downtown key west will be downtown sharkfest instead of fantasy fest with a direct storm surge.
Is it my imagination or all the highways in florida seem to be on a hurrican track.

A steady breeze here in Broward, picked up alittle in the last few mintues around 10:40 PM EDT. 's eye looks to be reforming and she is gaining strenght, pushing Cat 3 levels. Glad I got my panels up (and took photos to prove it)! Noticed very few people in the neighborhood did the same, they are going be sorry tomorrow AM when the wind really starts cranking.
This is going to be ugly for all the counties SE of landfall as they will be on strong side of the storm: Monroe (the Keys), Dade and Broward, maybe even WBP will see easily see hurricane force winds. Tornado "watch boxes" are popping up all over the state from Key West clear up the to the space coast and back across as far west as Tampa.

Amazingly calm here in Tampa. Earlier there was lightning filling the skies, but it's quiet and calm here now with just a light rain. TBO.com's radar doesn't show much coming our way for a while, but that could change. I'm gonna try to get some sleep because I know just a light breeze will wake me up

Around 4AM the wind really picked up in NW Broward and we finally got some rain. Now's it's 6:20 AM EDT and we've got landfall of a solid Cat 3 just south of Naples - a little ahead of schedule and just south of predicated, given all the factors involved this has been a near perfect forecast. Given the track and strenght of this storm the next few hours here are going to be wild. Wind is whippin' pretty good steady at 35, gusting to 50. Amazingly my panels aren't rattling that much, I guess its because they are so heavy (steel not aluminum) and the winds are "only" at tropical storm force.

Punta Gorda has sustained wind around 35 mph with gusts up to about 45 mph, according to WINK-TV. Shutters across the lanai are rattling, white caps in the canal, no damage that I see from our northeast-facing sheltered front porch.
It looks like we're more than half-way through it.

Rainy and windy here but not too bad - I'm comparing this to and Jeanne. It wasn't loud enough to wake me up and there's no water seeping in around the doors and windows.
We've had 3 confirmed tornado touchdowns in Brevard: Cocoa Village last night, West Melbourne near Sam's, and A1A in Satellite Beach (I think?) this morning. Scary stuff.
I need coffee.
It's still 80F here so the front hasn't crossed yet. Wind gusts to 35mph. Two more suspected tornadoes travelling through south Brevard and Palm Bay. Not headed in my direction.
Turns out the A1A tornado was in Floridana Beach,down towards Sebastian Inlet, not Satellite Beach. Unless there were two of them?

When you say Brevard, are you referring to Brevard County? I am in Michigan right now and my grandparents home is in Cocoa. I am looking for specific information on that area. I see you are from Melbourne. I think that is near the relative area. Any information you have would be appreciated.

Yep...we can count our blessings once again...and man do we often get to count them!! Temps are falling here in Tampa. It looks like the rain is about to end according to Channel 8 radar. I have a feeling we are going to have a beautiful day following . It's 58 degrees out there, by golly we just might need a jacket today!

Current observations from my weather station in Seminole, Florida (near St. Petersburg) as of 10:15am EST 10/24/05:
Wind: North gusting to 31mph
Pressure: 29.50 in.
Temperature: 60 F
The cold front has passed us, and we are getting a chilly (by Florida standards) north wind in Pinellas County right now. Our winds peaked at around 7am this morning with gusts in the range of 40-50mph, but no sustained tropical storm force winds. This is about what I expected. The highest gusts (around 50mph) were experienced along the Pinellas bayfront where the wind came unhindered across the bay.

Last of the rain has moved on by my area. If I look out to the west it looks as if the clouds are breaking up. Temp. has fallen .5 degrees since the rain stopped. We have a forecast high of 75 today, I wonder if it will make it to that? The winds have died down considerably. I feel so bad for those in S. Florida who are going through it still.

Rippin wind and rain in Indiatlantic 3 miles north of 192 on A1A over the last hour. Strongest winds I`ve seen so far today. Right out of the north. Theres a report of a entire house destroyed in Floridana about 15 or so miles south of here on A1A from a tornado. Quite a few reports of other tornado damage coming out as the day progresses. Got a feeling there will be some other damage around here also after the last bout of wind that just came through Brevard County the last hour........I think the worst is over, time for the cool temps to move in over the rest of the afternoon.....Weatherchef

Should be starting to slack off some up there according to radar and cooling down a bit. They had some 70mph wind at Kennedy Space Center earlier. Still a bit windy in southern Brevard but starting to taper off. I`ll be going out on a neighbor hood damage assesment walk shortly and I`m going up to the Crowne Plaza on the beach where I work to see if everything is alright. I sure don`t want to be shipped out on culinary task force again to other properties for the company that owns it. The storms destoyed it last year and its been a year of renovation and I sure hope all is good with it......Weatherchef...Special note, only lost power here for a couple of minutes. Truley amazing.

I'm in Satellite Beach and it is still windy here, but not as much rain. We took a ride down A1A to Melbourne Beach around 11 and there didn't seem to be much damage. Lots of limbs down and "stuff" in the roads, but nothing major.
ETA - did anyone notice that there are 4 tropical waves out there??
