ABC Action New in Tampa just did a phone interview with Charley Paxton from the NWS in Ruskin/Tampa Bay. He said that people who are not taking this seriously are putting their lives at risk by not heeding the warnings to leave. He also said that there will probably be only minor changes to the left or right and timing, but other than that, it's a Tampa Bay storm. He also said that depending on how intense the hurricane is when it nears our area, inland winds could be as high as 85-90 mph with higher gusts.

No major changes with the 2am advisory; it's almost out of Cuba and into very warm waters.

Bobbi...I know you're frustrated with the lateness of the advisories. Hope your kids are okay, and that you stay safe.

I've got to go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day/night.

God Bless and Good luck.........
