Kudos to channel 9 in orlando. ABC national broke in and said it was going to hit Tampa, based on the 11 a.m. forecast. Channel 9 came back on locally and said they needed to correct what ABC nationally said. Good for them. They also said that with the new track, Orlando could expect 95 mph winds tonight.

On a side note, a friend decided to be a dummy and stayed on Pine Island, which is now in the bulls eye. It's due west of Fort Myers, just north of Sanibel. The bridges off the island are now closed. Any advice for him other than prayer? He said the ocean is already over the seawall and flooding his yard.
