Checked Windy: Wind map & weather forecast this morning and it shows the cone has moved south of the Villages. Orlando is still inside the cone but close to where we were yesterday. And instead of it going from a cat 3 to a 2 as it passes below us it has changed to 2-1. So if accurate we appear to be dodging another one, but I'd still keep looking at updates today. We have a river flood warning and my house is about half a mile from Lake Okahumpka so I'm concerned on how high that will get. Getting the Kayak ready.

Edit: corrected the word track to cone.
