Naples FL reporting winds of 135mph.

142.

Unimaginable.

there's a little good news - the eye appears to be falling apart, at least on radar.

Indikon : Yes.

SteveBob : That is good news.

Wow.

20SoCalDude24 : Uh huh.

heylis-elf : It's hard not to listen to the news.

it is. I'm watching the Seahawks/Packers game right now.

heylis-elf : Good for you!

I've been watching waaay to closely.
wrings hands

✩`*•.¸✷¸.•*´✩ : I know. There is some better news, with a decline to Category 2.

Wow!

BarbaraLN : Mr Bill : I haven't checked lately but hope conditions have improved.

I don't know..
Watched a weather guy take a piece of debris to the face at cat 2 and it nearly took him out of the game. He had to go off camera and regroup.
Those weather guys are either heros or idiots. I can't decide which.

Some of each, maybe.

✩`*•.¸✷¸.•*´✩ : Right? I was just yelling at one to get out of the storm!

KitchenBuddy : that's funny - I just did the same thing. It always amazes me the way they break curfew to stand out in the hurricane conditions.

At least some of them have been using a rope and tethering themselves to something sturdy. Not all, though.

✩`*•.¸✷¸.•*´✩ : Both!

In other news, relatives in Sarasota are okay.

What a relief!!
My ppl in Orlando are okay too. Haven't heard from aunt in Leesburg on the gulf coast yet. Keeping fingers crossed!

✩`*•.¸✷¸.•*´✩ : Do let me know when you hear something.
