(Jeez that was a lot of typing!)

For those of you not familiar with those areas, these are counties and cities on the West Coast of Florida, north and south of Tampa Bay. They said that some areas could expect up to 20" of rain or more. I think that this is also another indication that no one really thinks anything is going to pull this up to the Carolinas, as they are advising the people in low-lying areas to immediately move to higher ground, which means more evacuations.

Finally...they are in the process of moving the horses located in Ocala up to KY, TN, etc. And one cow escaped and caused and accident on I-4, backing up traffic.

Gov. Bush is holding a news conference right now and just said that 2.5 million people will be evacuated.

Okay, I think I got it all.

*Sorry, about the typos...I thought I got them all, guess not.
