So far, all is well here in Venice, FL (Sarasota country). Heavy overcast but no wind or rain as yet. That will change, of course, and soon. We did get hit by the northernmost "feeder bands" at about 4 AM, and that had some serious rain and wind gusts to about 35 mph. We're expecting twice that here. If the eye comes right at us though, well, heh-heh...
I'm about four miles inland from the water's edge, which helps a lot. How much, we're going to find out in about six hours or so.
