you probably will not have any serious wind damage issues. However, 40mph+ gusts will likely still down a few palm frawns, small branches/twigs, and possibly cause a few isolated power outages. Your main issues though will likely be from rainfall and coastal flooding.

[dixiebreeze]

There's a steady moderate rain here now with just a little wind. Sounds mighty good. I suspect our area will be subject to some flooding overnight and Sat. Just hope tornadoes stay away and the power stays on.

[Aquawind]

So much for the dry slot.. Heavier rain on raday is moving into the SWFL coast. Some GR3 rotation in the cells in South Florida..

yup the tides could rise late tonight...might cause some street flooding around
low lying coastal areas i expect...
