Winds are howling. Much greater gusts than at 2am. Still have power and apparently little rain so far.

Incredibly, just had a gap large enough and clear enough to spot Venus and Saturn neatly stacked looking due east.

Be safe everyone!

Wind really picking up in Lakeland. Not a whole lot of rain but radar shows the real stuff just approaching town.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Opinions my own.

We've had two inches of rain since yesterday in south Lakeland and it has been steadily raining for last thirty minutes.

Powerline down just north of Lake Miriam road.

65 - 75 mph winds sustained in Lake Wales area right this moment.

Terry--
Thanks for the updates on Lake Wales. I've been checking through NWS website, but I don't think it's giving the whole picture.
Y'all stay safe!
