Northwestward moving winds and clouds. Moving at a pretty good clip
Starting to look a little ominous Looks like it will get worse
A couple of bars here are packed with hurricane party goer's.

They just reported that it taked an easterly track which put you and us in a very high risk.

my house anyway... I'm in NY right now, thank god. Glad I sold my house in Ft. Myers last year, it's right across the Causeway from Sanibel and under the flood plain. I'm SURE there will be flood damage... I had problems there without ever having a hurricane hit.

depends where the hurricane actually makes landfall. anything to the east and south of it will get the worst of the brunt, besdies being hit directly.

21. I grew up in Lely Estates (East Naples) |

We got hit by a tornado in 1978 that took down all the houses that was on our street. It was spawned from what was called a no name storm.

If it gets too bad, hightail it up to GA. Come on up for a visit - we're not all crazy up here.

Hunker down and again please be careful. I love hurricanes and have studied them a lot. Even a cat 3 is nothing to sneeze at.
