Oops, Boortz is riding the storm out in WDW/Orlando!
They just said Orlando could have hurricane force winds.
With Florida's width being so small, the feeder bands can still be in the Gulf of Mexico when the eye is over Disney World.
The intensity will not diminish as much compared to--for example--a hurricane hitting Texas.
Besides, Florida has so many lakes it is like being over water even when it is inland.
