Thanks, FRiend. Listening to Top Gov presser right now.
Link?
My daughter and family are gonna ride it out in High Springs. It will be downgraded by then I hope, but still bad. They have a generator, well water, a stocked pantry and a mini-excavator (for tree removal) if needed. She says they will be fine. I hope so. She moved to Florida in 1995 so this is not her 1st rodeo...
Praying for everyone in the path of the storm.
the blue models have consistently tracked the forecast to the east the past two days and the nhc forecast has been revising toward this direction. The three blue models are even still East of the nhc track. I suspect that if this pattern holds these are the better models and that the real landfall track will end up being directly to/between north port/cape coral, or even just south.
But those just my observations
