All of that rain is east and north of us. We're under the same advisory but not close enough to get any runoff. And it just won't rain here.
All in Florida, my prayers have been going out to you all day and will continue until you are all safe.

I don't think we're going to have power for long. The lights are flickering off and on. It's pouring now.
ExSoldier - No, we don't own a gun, but ever since 9/11, I wish I did. (I'm afraid to have one in the house with two young kids.) I'm not worried about looters here; nothing against Dade, but the neighborhoods aren't nearly as scary. :-)
The eye could move right through eastern Sarasota County. Fortunately, that's not very populated. The few people who do live out there have houses near the Myakka River, which is very vulnerable to flooding. Those people never should have been allowed to build there.
Lights flickering again. I'm watching a palm tree whip in the wind.
