My daughter is visiting in Sarasota. My husband got a cell call from her and she is at a place now called LakeWood Farms 3 miles east of 1-75. Any of you from Florida know her approx location from the eye of the storm?????

You can enter that subdivison.
Lakewood Ranches is a 30 minute drive from the gulf,near Bradenton I believe.
Could you mean Lakewood Ranch? Lakewood Ranch is a fairly large development by University Parkway (Sarasota/Manatee county line). That's 10+ miles from the Gulf so they should be OK.
I'm in Sarasota and we have wind and rain right now. Getting a little stronger.
sarasota probably getting the worst they will see right now.....charley is almost due east at this time......probably breezy and rainy but they definitely dodged a bullet with the earlier NE turn.
