Some "good" news. The strongest winds are tightly wrapped in the center of the storm. It is 20 miles offshore, but the wind in Captiva is only 20 sustained.
Not great news for the recipients of a direct hit...
I have noticed that the media hypes these storms, this might be another case of media hype. Winds in bands should be much strong then 20kts with a strong huricane even 50 or 100 miles away.
