A strong band of rain and high winds just came through here in San Antonio, FL (30 miles N of Tampa). I think from the radar presentation the next band is hours off. We got one and a half inches of rain from that event. We will see how much the next band brings.
EDIT: It's hard to believe that we are getting rain and wind from a tropical system whose center is 200 miles from us.
