Not nearly as bad as previous storms but I'll be glad when it's gone. They are saying about 4 hours to landfall in the Keys at current speed. Grateful and relived it's not as bad as it could have been...." |

You can clearly see the rotation on the radar animation. http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Current.aspx?location=USFL0244&animate=true We're about 120 miles NNE. Heavy rain here with winds over 20, not really a big deal but no day to be outside. The center of the storm is expected to go well to the west out in the Gulf. |

Wayne, I thought it would be worse than that. Rain yes, but nothing in the 'red' |
