Sarasota, Florida, 1:30 PM: The wind continues to be strong from the WNW (290 degrees) at 51 MPH (44 KT) gusting to 60 MPH (52 KT). The rain is heavier, about ½” in the last 20 min. We are now SSW of the eye about 70 miles. The pressure has risen about 1 mb to 989 mb. We have a strong squall over us now. The local TV is showing lots of minor damage, downed trees, signs etc., but no major stuff in sarasota. I suspect in Parrish and south Hilsbrough counties their is more damage. |
