My original post from earlier...moved it here to the appropriate thread.
We are now under a tornado watch in central Florida. Here in Pinellas County, I am awaiting the arrival of a strong squall which is just offshore. NWS issued a special marine warning for a waterspout 13 miles southwest of Indian Rocks Beach. I am now hearing some rumbles of thunder.
The wind impact from Barry has been very minor so far in this area. I expect that we will see tropical storm force wind gusts around midday as the wind shifts onshore and the center passes a little to the north. I will head out to the beach to quantify the wind speed and survey the surge at that time.
*Just noticed a 38mph wind gust at Sand Key. Winds are still light a couple miles inland as heavy rain is now falling. More like a frontal squall line than anything else. Will probably be like Gordon in 2000 with most of the wind later today after the rain moves through.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
