122 mph max wind there!

Definitely still Howlin's "real hurricane"!

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.

*Sigh*. That model puts it ashore around Wilmington, NC/Myrtle Beach, SC. Southport is right in between them, and I've got relatives living there, too.

The cat 4 winds were in a narrow band.

Still very powerful though.

The full extent of the damage will not be known until at least tomorrow.

How about a 15 foot surge in Port Charlotte. Check the local coverage online, if you aren't in FL.

2-1/2 hours west of Ocala means she gets her toes bitten by Gulf of Mexico sharks, instead of Gulf Stream sharks......

(Er, lawyers.)

"Happy Friday the 13th," said Don Paterson of Punta Gorda, who tried to ride out the storm at his mobile home but got beaned by a flying microwave oven as his home was demolished. His refrigerator fell on him, and he spent the rest of the storm sheltering behind a lawnmower.

2 deaths reported.

Very odd that there doesn't appear to be much of a storm surge associated with this one - have you heard anything about flooding???

Mayor of Ft. Myers was on CNN a little earlier & seemed to be saying that the storm surge was yet to come....

Yes...look further up the thread. Somebody else provided the link.

I'm going to see if my husband will let me watch some of the Olympic opening ceremonies...

My brothers place is in Kissimmee - just strating up down there.

Still pretty calm up here. Getting a little bit breazy but nothing major. Eye is about an hour out.

TWC just aired some footage of mobile homes in Punta Gorde, and a gas station there - wrecked.

He probably know better than I do but I've never heard of a storm surge arriving after a hurricane.
