Greetings from Naples, FL and welcome back to all! I'm actually in Central Collier County (inland), 8 miles from Ave Maria. We've had rain all day, light until about 4pm, about 1/2 inch total. Winds are ESE 11 gusting to 23. NBC-2's chief meteorologist is calling it "Beneficial Barry" since we so desperately need the rain.

Nice light rain here in Valrico. A friend and I were down at the outlet mall in Ellenton.....rain started pretty good around 2:30.......got to Valrico and there had not been too much rain. Winds are pretty non-existent (compared to the strong easterly gusts of the past week or so). All in all, it is a nice soaking kind of rain. Did Central Florida ever need this kind of system!!!!

Hello from Port Saint Lucie- we've had a nice steady rain fall since 4PM. What a blessing- God has shown Himself today- and will put an end to the drought once and for all. I hope we have more Barrys in our future!!

Plant City (20 miles east of Tampa). Rain was slow to start. Very light sprinkles from about 2:30 to about 4:00. Then it has been a pretty steady drizzle to steady shower since then. No wind to speak of and we have accumulated about 0.30 inches so far today. My uncalibrated barometer shows 29.88 in for what it's worth. Looking for 1-2 inches tonight and another 1-2 tomorrow. I really don't worry about the wind here. 40-50 usually doesn't cause us too many problems in this area (or at least didn't during and Jeanne).

Here is Charlotte County it started drizzling at about 10AM. By 10:30 the rain became more steady. The overall rainfall has ranged from intermittent breaks and intermintent drizzlewithlonger periods of light to moderate rain. Tome, this rain has been ideal because we have not had any deluge events as of yet, so the rain we are getting is providing a nice soaking. Windwise, I would say thatthe breeze really started to pick uparound 6:30PM, but so far, this breeze has been comparable to what we have seen over the last few weeks under that high pressure ridge. Based on the looks of the track over the last few hours, if that track keeps up, the center will move either directly over us or just to the north...so I suspect it will be a bit (maybe a tad more than a bit)gustier in the morning. I hope madmumbler will have a chance to chime in from over on the peninsula as well. Mumbler probably lives only about 10 miles away from me (i reference that based on the fact that my parents live in Englewood East, which is on the penninsula). I imagine that combined reports would make for a fairly comprehensive report in Charlotte County should Barry decide to cross land in this neck of the woods.

Here, in Englewood, we've had rains on and off since about 11am. The rain has been heavier and almost constant since about 6. Although listening outside right now, it sounds like it's calming down. There's been a pretty nice breeze for the last few hours. I'm just so glad it's raining, as I know many are!

Just went out to check the 'real' rain gauge (the remote one can be quite off), and found just over an inch!! Rain has been steady showers for the past hour and a half, but still not a lot of wind. My barometer has dropped by 0.08 in in the past 4 hours. Let it rain!!

We are IN IT off Miami on the Liberty Of The Seas RIGHT NOW!
Its freaking HOWLING out here. Ship's instruments are showing south winds of 50-58mph STEADY; we're basically holding station intending to dock this morning. IMHO they'd have to be NUTS to run the inlet in this crap, but heh, I've seen more insane things done.
I have no idea what the sea state is - its still dark - but it sure isn't "nice" - we're getting tossed around quite nicely on this 1100 footer.
There's stuff flying all over the top exposed deck on the ship - I'm in the solarium with my laptop and have a good signal, so far, so good..... just coming back after a nice Caribbean vacation.
The drive home today ought to be REAL pleasant. NOT!
50mph storm my ***. The wind has been in the 50+mph range for close to an hour now and we're what - 100+ miles from the core?

I'm on my patio as i type this and there is a slight breeze, but no rain and no howling winds. I have a weather station and winds are 3-4 mph. Today is my birthday.....first time since being in Florida (1987) that we had to contend with a storm on my birthday. I am in Bradenton which is about, i don't know....70-100 miles south from projected landfall.

My first post! In Palm Bay, very overcast right now, breezy from the SE about 15-20. Rain gauge shows 5.6 in so far. We had a very heavy cell around 3:30 with some limbs down and 2 bird feeders blown over. Usual drainage issues in Palm Bay for anything over 0.5 inch, but not anything bad. Grass says "Thanks, Mother Nature!"
