Sun City Center, Florida:

I woke up and looked at the radar to see I had about two minutes to get out and pick up my newspaper and have a quick smoke.

I see the storm has weakened, and that is GREAT! Also that we are more than likely out of the line of fire, that is GREAT too!

But, we don't need a direct hit to watch the trees dance crazy and see the rain blow horizontal. We are in for a storm, weak or not, and today will be one to go down in history.

Oooo Weeee! It is coming down out there, and a blowin' too!
