Re: Ophelia

Just some observations form Osteen, FL - ~25 miles from the coast.

Rain since Tuesday, mostly light but it has started to add up. Light rain this morning - then little rest up the day (I cooked ribs OUTSIDE).

About 4 PM winds picked up - as the storm was making hurricane status - estimate 30-35 MPH gusts.

I trust the models - BUT if this thing turned inland there would be a LOT of surprised people. I know that is unlikely but I like to plan as if anything could happen. I'm a little unhappy the way the media is telling everyone not to worry and it is ONLY at Cat 1. Only?
