She's moved 70 miles closer to Key West since the last report.
Seems to me I heard some discussion about this going wnw for awhile til getting into the Gulf..and then at some point doing a little turn more north. I guess this will depend on how soon the cold front moves.
Thanks for the ping NN. You folks in the Keys mind your affairs. Key West is my favorite place in the world I think. My wife and I honeymooned there and we still go back every couple of years. I hate to think what 15 inches of rain and a couple of hours of 80 mph wind will do. What about the chickens?
