More like 80 sustained with gusts to 100 mph. I don't live there but I have a meteorologist friend in FL who considers all of the Orlando TV mets complete idiots. One on them is with a station that's an Accuweather station, and Accuweather completely and totally botched the storm.
Uh yes...I would listen to the reports here before some ding dong that was hired to look good to read the weather...
reports of trees crashing onto mobile homes in Volusia County as squall line hits.
We didn't need Charlie to tell us the local media were idiots. So far, NE of Orlando we have had heavy cloud cover and some periods of light to heavy rain. Nothing radical...yet.
With a Cat 4.borderline cat 5 storm moving decently fast....the idea that Orlando will only see 50-60 mph winds is pure fantasy.
