Category 4 storm now....

Just wanted to post a note. Channel 13 in Tampa (WTVT) just reported on camera that a recon fix from the storm just reported max winds at 10000ft of 160mph, which translated to a ground speed of around 140mph. That would be Cat. 4 strength.

Not to frighten anyone unnecessarily. Just keep your eyes open, and be alert. This thing is changing rapidly, and there are at least 2 tornados on the ground also - Doppler radar just reported a tornado on the ground in Avon Park, FL moving north at 40mph, and there was another on the ground around Lake Placid, FL. I can't remember who was in Lake Placid, but be safe and careful, friend....
