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.

Yes, that is it.She said she was 3 miles east of l-75 I believe.When my husband called me, at first I thought he said it was on a " farm". Then he clarified Lakewood Ranch. So you think they would be ok????? has the hurricane passed over her by now???Sure hoping so . She is from Los Angeles, and has been through major earthquakes, but never a hurricane.
