Power is beginning to flicker here in Plant City but it's still on at the moment.  Some areas in Plant City have already lost power and the storm is still quite a ways away.

Keep us informed as conditions allow.  It's about to get busy there and we'll all be on pins and needles awaiting your status.

As it stands now, it is looking to hit us as either a Cat 2 or possibly a Cat 1.  It's probably a great thing that it didn't hug the coastline all the way up Florida.  Hoping this will greatly help out our folks on the West Coast.  Still not out of this yet.

Thanks Dave.  All still good here.  Won't get bad till around 2am I believe.  I have a 5hr energy drink on hand if needed.  LOL

Good enough.  I think I opened a 15 year old single malt by kerosene lighting about this time.

The winds are beginning to pick up here. Starting to hear whistling outside from the wind and power has flickered a few times but is currently on.  It's likely we will lose power

Same here in Kissimmee/Saint Cloud.

Well I've all ready have had a few large pine tree branches fall on my roof , about 8" in diameter The trees are over 80 feet tall what a sound they made hitting my roof
For the last year I have been on my HOA to cut them down but they have refused to do so
But so far so good here in lake mary, But we just got a flood warning and watches for our area

That'll do some damage!

 

I'd hate to have an 80 foot tall tree fall on the roof, though.
