Please, please, please, when posting areas please put a point of reference, such as southwest of Orlando, northwest of miami, etc. It is hard to know what area you all are talking about. My daughter moved to Melbourne last week, and I have not idea if these reports are near her or not. Thank you!!!!
The storm is going right through downtown Orlando. It doesn't get more specific.
It's passing a decent distance west of MLB; I'm ICQing with a friend there right now; no hurricane force winds, but power is likely to go soon..transformer flashes. Unfortunately some tornadoes out away from the storm, though...none in Melbourne so far.
melbourne appears to be well south of daytona, away from the track.
Just got home and am trying to catch up.
Brother in Jacksonville...just called him on the way home and they are expecting it to hit in less than an hour but are calm and confident all will be well.
Prayers for our Florida Freepers.
She's getting the winds and rain, for sure.
Melbourne is just east of Orlando.
