If anybody is lurking from Charlotte County, we are projected to be within 90 miles of the center. I'm not sure what that means in terms of wind speed, but I think we're in for another rough time here.
Please stay safe everyone.
Agreed there, stay safe... here in Cape Coral, my barometer is now down to 29.59 inches and still falling (thankfully not rapidly), we've had a couple of squally episodes already since about 4PM. I'm more concerned at this point about my friends in WPB, as one of them just get their power restored about 5 days ago. To all of you in the direct path, our prayers are with you.

I would have agreed with that assessment this morning, but for whatever reason, Jeanne continues to be an underachiever as it relates to windspeed in correlation with her pressure. I still think she can get to 125mph by landfall, but unless something drastic occurs, she is quickly running out of time to get any stronger. That being said, its going to take some time to spin down from that low pressure, so she may maintain intensity inland a little longer than did.
Conditions in East Orlando, breezy and cloudy. Wind gusts to about 30mph. No rain for the last 2.5 hours.

Evenin' Everyone. I'm here now. I am at work in East Orange County. I made it safe and sound. After watching the forecast track this morning, my husband and I decided to send him and the kids to Tampa. But, with what you guys are saying about her forward speed and not making the northern turn, I am getting very worried.
Since I am the only one from my shift that has shown up, they have designated me the Station Watch Officer. I can keep you all updated on the current conditions here in East Orange County. We have a big nice new generator and will be online all night. I have to listen to the radio and keep track of my personnel anyway.
Good Luck to everyone in Florida tonight..... I'm thinking about everyone and we will be responding to help as soon as it is safe to do so.

Thank you for all that you are willing to do. I am not in your county but near by. I will look for anything you have to offer as long as we have power here. Thanks again.

It's unbelieveable that folks in fragile zones would stay after seeing what did and seeing the pictures from P-cola and Hati. I believe it was Harlon Ellison who said "The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and Stupidity." Too bad we can't run cars on the latter.
It's funny that those of you who haven't been through them are the ones criticizing those who have and who now refuse to leave. I was in Arcadia for losing trees, roof, and stepping out into an alien world after it passed. I was in Bradenton for without power for a week, and I fled to Tennessee for where 4 trees fell right outside the house from the high winds (go figure). My parents' home on Abaco was destroyed, and has just been struck again. I am SICK to death of running from them. My child has missed more school than he can afford. I'm completely out of money from spending thousands more than my normal budget on damage repairs, evacuations, etc.
Charley was a Cat 4 when he passed over my head in Arcadia and it was a complete and total nightmare. So I ran from them after that. But you know what? I'm sick to death of running and can't afford to do it anymore. I am staying right where I am, house boarded up, generator ready, fresh water in good supply. I'm going to pray. And if God wishes to spare me he will do so. If not, then it was meant to be. And I've never been overly religious, but at this point down here we have little left but that.
So before you point fingers at the decisions made by people who have now been through three "nasties", try to consider that they might have litttle choice at this point.

The model has a problem with ridges and has a left sided bias. (I hope)

It just occurred to me that this is a brand new fire station and they haven't installed our weather station yet. I do however have WeatherBug, so I can go with that for ya.
Right now we have sustained winds about 25 mph, gusting to 30 so far. Ugh.... it's going to be a long night.

Winds gusting to 52 mph, 1.16" rain, 29.16" and still falling rapidly. Can't believe the power is still on.

Bev - I hope that you have lost your magnetic charge. This season has required people to make very difficult decisions. My heart goes out to all who have been impacted and you'll stay in my prayers. Please be sure to stop back after the storm and check in.
