It's Beaufort, and we've had a lot of rain, but I doubt enough wind to knock down any trees, unless old rotten water oaks.

Yea, you're correct...Beaufort :) I read it too fast. Fire/Rescue reported that there are trees and powerlines down in several places, and that a tree limb fell on a house causing a house fire.

It's not bad here right now, kind of squally but nothing to get too excited about. Looks like a bunch more is on the way but it always seems like whatever is forecast for this area, cut it in half and that's about what we usually get.

I get these reports from the SPC. GRLevel3 gets them downloaded automatically. Look at my radar....those blue and orange tropical storm symbols are where the reports are from. If I hold my mouse over one, it'll tell me the details.

Looks like Tammy made landfall in Jacksonvile near Mayport Naval Station as a 50mph TS according to the 8pm advisory. Been a while since Jacksonville took a direct hit from any tropical system off the Atlantic. Most of the winds and rain though are off to the north and north east. Amazing though how there is little if any rain or wind here right now.

Most of our hits are backdoor hits that come across the state.
Amazingly, we are affected at least every 4 years (on average) with a TS or better passing within 60 miles of downtown Jax.
