Wind or gusts at 95 MPH?

They were saying Doppler Radar in Tampa can tell them the eye wall wind speed and it's currently 96 when they reported just before my last post. So they are saying the eye wall wind speed will be 95 and they were projecting the eye wall path, which is directly over TV.

Wesh update

tracks the eye wall right over us now or very slightly east, expect 95mph between 2-3 AM,

but as we all know that can change again

We saw that too in Osceola Hills. It came from where the high tension lines are. It did look like the northern lights.

We saw that too. Thought it might be a transformer. I dunno. [emoji15]

Wish I could fall asleep.

Of course dear husband is out.

I guess I'll worry for both of us. 😬

That's worrisome, but it can change on a dime.

At 5AM it is still windy and rain comes in bursts but the worst of it is over. We still have power(SECO) in Duval. I can see no damage outside but it is still dark.

We lost power at 1:15 AM in Silver Lake on the historic side.

It's about 6:45AM and it still is windy out... checking the weather stations near us (Pinellas) through the night it looks like wind speed in the 20's with some gusts close to 40 and that's about what it is now. Our street seems to have quite a bit of water puddled in it. Didn't lose power. Too dark and windy to check for damage but all the palms I can see are still standing.

Same here in Alhambra by the Savannah Center. We even still have our direct tv.

Is there any damage that you can see on the historic side?

[Bobcuse]

Anyone aware of roof damage on villas near Savannah Center?
