Channel 8 weather guy just said they've confirmed three tornadoes that touched down in DeSoto County - that's east of here, around Arcadia. Just one of the many things to be concerned about during any hurricane.
I'm seriously hopped up on caffeine.
Darn thing looks like it's just moving along the coastline. Boca Grande now could be a major target - that's a favorite vacation spot for the Bush family. They often stay down there.
Rain is getting much heavier. Winds picking up. I may go out briefly and check on things.
Channel 8 has a thing called Viper Radar - it's very detailed. I've never seen anything like it.
The guy on the weather channel just reported that "this is a nightmare scenario" something about the pressure dropping and the hurricane gaining even more strength as a result.
Any news out of Orlando or Volusia?
