Just spoke to my relatives who are very near to where she is (just a couple of miles away). They said that it wasn't bad at all—some rain, a little wind. That isn't to say that they won't get hit by a band here and there, but the worst part (worrying that the eye could hit them) is over.
Almost into Polk County now, still moving up Hwy 17.
Passed over Wauchula, heading towards Bowling Green.
Fort Meade next up.
