My husband and I were watching TWC at 9:00pm and Jim Cantore is in Sanibel Island. One of the anchors asked Dr. Lyons which storm he was more concerned with (duh) and he said, "Oh, absolutely, Charley. Besides the wind and surge, we could see up to and over 10" of rain with this system."
That's going to be a problem, because most of the coastal rivers/canals are already at or near flood level.
Also, our local met mentioned Anna Maria Island being a target as of tonight's 11pm path. We are one hour northeast of Anna Maria Island. Wouldn't that mean that we would be on the right side quadrant of the storm? Isn't that usually the worst part to be in?
Oh yeah...the met mentioned that the Gulf IV will be heading back out to the storm at about 1:30am to get more readings.
