We were awoken at 215 with the first feeder band coming through. Couple of hoses in fort laud hit by lightning anf caught on fire and a mobile home had a roof blown off. THose winds were 40-50, imagine 100+. Sofla dodges another bullet but the season is very early.

The eye seems to have become less well-defined in the latest infrared imagery.

I only wish I could count on that report. We are currently in Port Charlotte, FL and with all of the news people says this storm is going to go past us and hit Tampa noboby thinks they have to worry. What worries me is that the "probabilities" list from the NWS site shows we have more to worry about than Tama does for a direct hit. I sure wish they would update their maps to reflect what their "probabilities" list calls for during these storms.
Thanks for getting this site back up this morning. I will check back in when I can. One more check outside the winds should start picking up here within the next 3 hours according to the local news reports.

It seems that has taken a jog to the east in the most recent frame. This might spell more trouble if goes on a more easterly course, more inland and closer to Orlando. A tornado watch was just issued for Central Florida.

Can anyone tell me how bad Naples/Collier County will be affected by this storm? THey say its moving NNW but it looks to me and many others obviously as due north. Did it turn to the north prematurely or is it right on schedule? When is it going to make its NE movement? watching and waiting :?:

There is no other site that is categorized as ground zero by title. History in the making for central florida. By the way Charlie is a Cat.3 now.

It seems the keys are out of the woods as has passed us by. At 10:00 last night the first ( and only ) serious band came through Islamorada as if someone set off a bomb. There were tornadic storms reported up and down the keys as it went through us. It gave us a great light show with its approach. The lightning was fantastic, but the only problems I'm aware of at this point is that we lost our cable TV here. Man, just when we need it the most.

Good Morning all,
Overcast and eerily calm in the Orlando area this morning.
Anyone have a URL for the latest model run?
I've heard discussion out of tallahassee this morning that they expect the storm to come in between Charlotte Harbour and Tampa.

Stayed up through the heavy rain band last night staring mesmerized watching cuban and key west radar. Beautiful storm.
That band that blew off the storm last night looked more like some outflow boundary and whole storm pulled in together after it blew away. Much like when that band blew off south of Haiti and then it intensified fast.. hard to say but was some band.
Watching Miami news with footage live out of Key West. So happy for Key West that it seems to have been spared the worst of it. Happy about that...really really happy as it is my second home.
Not too happy for Tampa/St. Pete.. looks like you are ground zero.
But everyone watch out because whole state can have twisters at any time.
NHC did a great job, great.. no words for how great they have been.
later, got a meeting/conference at work and better cable connection there 
bobbi
stay safe up there... take care and follow the rules

Another Floridian here, northwest of the Orlando area. My weather is pretty much the same as yours; it is overcast right now with no wind or anything. We have yet to see a serious feederband come through yet (hey, maybe on did, I was sleeping soundly earlier  ). But from what I've heard from others south of here, I'm expecting a pretty decent punch whenever we do get a feederband.
Sitting, watching, and waiting...
