I’m on the East Central Florida coast and reading this thing might hit us Thursday evening

I have family in Orlando who are expecting me, but the last hurricane that worked its way up the Florida corridor 12 years ago gave Orlando a pretty hard pounding......I was there.

Current model consensus shows this storm raking the coast as it moves N. None of the current models I have seen indicate the storm making a W turn inland for Florida. Moving inland from the coast is a wise move.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles.
