Its been my experience in the hurricanes that I have been through that the back side is always the worst. Hang on and stay safe.

Never thought I'd have to deal with wind chill in a tropical system. Here in Apopka, not a lot of sustained winds but gust to probably 25. Raining pretty good, but I am really surprised at how much the temperature has dropped in the last eight hours.

Steady soaking rain, no winds or maybe gentle gusts up to 5-10 mph. But its like 58 degrees!!!! very chilly and damp and much more seasonal. Thats about it from the Nature Coast.

Here in New Port Richey, some of my neighbors actually took out the trash last night, even though the county is pretty much shut-down for today. The cans are rolling up and down the street, and there's trash everywhere. Not too bad here, thankfully- just some rain and occasional wind gusts <25 mph I would guess, and I'm assuming this is the worst it will get.

On a side note, I'm watching CNN and wondering why on earth these reporters are risking their lives, and the lives of their camera crews, standing outside in the worst of the storm, struggling against the wind and rain. We know it's bad, and our thoughts are with the people in the affected areas. They don't need to prove how unsafe it is, do they?

There are now trucks in the frame in that Duval St cam. Water is barely up to the middle of the wheels, so it's not quite as bad as it first looked.

0822 from the treasure coast. Power outages up and down Indian River and St Lucie counties. about 1100-1200 folks in Red Cross shelters. We're being pelted by some good rains in Vero Beach. Winds are down again but the gusts are higher. actual wind speed as of 0823 was 25MPH

Tornado warnings up and down the county. Tornado spotted near sebastian US1 and 510 area.

more to come......

In Palm Beach Gardens, high winds, heavy rain (these hurricane-resistant windows are incredible - makes it scary to see but keeps the noise at a minimum). We still have power and cable here but they say there are heavy bands moving towards us - my aunt called from Boynton Beach, she has no power and the noise in her house from the metal shutters sounds like a freight train. Spoke to a friend in Miami who says they are having 100+ mph winds and Norcross is saying that the eye will not pass over them so they will get no break and may have the most damage - does that verify?

Stay safe!
