Well. Just lost power. Probably last post for a while. Need to conserve batteries.

Wow... Here in Citrus County we are still chillin' out, waiting for the worst to come.
Winds out of the NE @ 30, with gusts around 40-45. Just depends on the current squall. At times, it is dead calm outside, foreboding the worst to come.
Haven't lost power at all yet, but I am sure that will change.

Checking in from Chiefland..about 20 miles northeast of Cedar Key. Current winds standing about 22 MPH with some higher gusts. Will give you reports as long as we can as it supposedly is to pass through this area on its way out.
Has anybody heard anything about gas restrictions? One owner with more than half the gas stations in town is restricting gas to only $20 forcing people to run from station to station in order to fill their tanks and generators.  Is this something that should be brought to the attention of Tallahassee?

Sarasota, Florida, 9:10 AM: Wind from the NW (310 degrees) at 45 MPH (39 KT) gusting to 55 MPH (48 KT), Rain in the last hour is 0.13. Current pressure is at 988 mb and dropping. Storm appears to continue to track west and not be affected by the eastern high. Sarasota and manatee counties will get the Southern edge over the next 4-6 hours. Concerned about flooding on the Manatee and Little Manatee rivers. Real time water measurement sites already have the two rivers at near flood stage and rising. These are great canoeing rivers and hope the floods don’t destroy the habitat too much. I was out yesterday at our scout ranch on the Manatee River (Camp Flying Eagle) and it was in good shape. I’m not so sure this is the case this morning.

It sounds like the owner is trying to keep from running out. And allowing more people a chance to get gas. I have heard of no limits being placed on gas anywhere else....

I have not heard anything about gas restrictions. Add that to the list of hurricane followup issues. Stay safe!

Hernando? and St. Marks?
Tampa? and Steinhatchee?
Crystal River? and Cedar Key?
Who knows? 
But as long as it is east of me! I am weary....
Thanks...I'm located halfway between both Cedar Key and Steinhatchee, 2 miles off the Suwannee River. Our area caught pretty good with flooding and tree damage...looks like we're in the soup again.

I am sleepless in Citrus county. It is VERY hard to get any information for my county...please can someone post for us?
What can I expect now that the path will be overhead????
I have come to Ocala to my parents but my husband stayed in the mobile home..I am so scared...thanks for all your great info...this web site is my life line.
Worst case scenario, he can head over here to Beverly Hills... We can put him up.
Based on the description, you live in the "mini-farms?" That would be a TERRIBLE place to ride this out... Too much open land for the winds to accellerate.
Let us know...

Phil and others on here just want to say that last night was a rude awakening for me.............I thought that 90mph gusts would not sound like they did or that I would be as scared as I was. I had power up until 7a.m. so could have read posts on here.........I think I was too panicky to even think about it.. Power is back and my pad was untouched............but it was a sleepless night.
