Greetings from Key Colony Beach MM 51 US1; it's nearly 8pm and finally I feel like I'm in a tropical storm, it is TINY. Wind due north nearing 25-30 knots above (not at the surface) and steady like it should be.

Almost 11pm, still calm in Orlando. Maybe a couple quick wind gusts, but nothing that would indicate anything more than a "usual/typical" storm.

Virtually no damage in the Miami area - our summer afternoon showers tend to be more intense.

Good morning from Naples, where we currently have light rain and light wind. That's all. I even slept through it. Hope that it stays the same as it travels northward. I used to live in PA and was there for Agnes in 1972 so I know what a tropical storm can do when it gets stuck up and becomes a major rain event.
Let's pray that this is the worst anyone sees of . Stay safe eveyone and have a great day!

Ernesto is a big rainstorm. Basically a non-event. We had some rain overnight. Barometer is 29.7 and down a bit from last night. We have a breeze of about 9 MPH with rare gusts to 18. Right now: zero rain. Radar shows heavy banding across Marco Island and Everglades City.

The sun is coming out in Boca Raton, clouds are breaking up, though I'm sure it isn't over. Roads are empty and worst of all Starbucks is closed.
Thankfully this was just a test.

I'm on the Cape Haze peninsula of Charlotte County, and it's overcast, but barely any breeze at all. I don't know if we'll get any rain later or not.
It WAS a good practice run though.

Lesli - be patient! We've been getting the heavy rain (heavy for ) down the road from you in Naples for the last couple of hours. It's coming!

Watch the weather radar -- see the Cape Haze peninsula? (It's there west of Charlotte Harbor.) It's showing rain over us -- NOTHING. My rain gauge is DRY. *LOL*
I watched it this morning when I got up, it looks like the storms kind of "skip" us, sometimes actually going around us, or dying and reforming on either side of us. Not surprising, regular t-storms tend to do this to us to unless it's a well-defined line of them. But it's very common for t-storms coming from the Gulf to go up the harbor and miss us, or from the east to slide down the harbor out to the Gulf.
Update: 10:19am
It's FINALLY started sprinking. Sprinkling. Barely. *LOL*

I guess is done at least over here in Naples. Got some rain and some wind overnight.
Today's been quite calm with some light rain but overall, glad that didn't strengthen cuz it coulda been alot worse.

Just scattered rain in Orlando thus far. They said we'd get the "brunt" in late afternoon/early evening.
Just overcast here most of the day, not much wind yet. I assume we will see more action in a couple hours. We NEED the rain from this storm.
Oops, just "heard" the first real "wind" of the day. It shan't be long, I would guess...

Where I live in Collier County (aka Naples) we have a very heavy rain ongoing for no less than 20 minutes. We had already received 3 inches of rain before this episode of heavy rain. Checking some live instrumentation at a local Fire house not far away the rate of rain fall is about an inch per hour.
Ernesto the rainmaker. Glad we have a home well above the flood plain. I would expect if this rate is holding true along some nearby roadways, they will be covered by water.

Beware the back end of the storm! As Trudy mentioned above, Naples has seen heavy rain for the last couple of hours. We also had a t-storm and wind - nothing significant, but the most we've had all day. I-75 is a mess with what is being called storm-related crashes. We've had about 6" of rain at my house (inland Collier County, about 15 miles SW of Immokalee).
Stay safe everyone!
