Just spoke to daughter in Palm Beach Gardens. The media has everyone freaking there. They are throwing around the most dreaded name in So Florida..ANDREW. Not the same deal, Andrew was debatably a Cat 5 when it hit and was a full frontal 90-degree hit on southern Dade county. This storm maybe a glancing blow, but still to take very seriously.
That's about like comparing a looming tornado to the one that hit Jarrell, Texas. Very irresponsible, they're causing people to panic more than they already are.
Your daughter is correct. I am in St Augustine and everyone is freaked unbelievable. We have already had a lot of rain. Hotels are booked.
