2 hours?

About that. Local mets say the elongation has really increased the winds in Charlotte county. Ah well. Nice chatting with you guys, we're going to lose the net and power soon.

I'll be out right behind ya I'm sure. Already had a flicker here and the winds and rain are picking up nicely.

Good luck to all you guys down south. You're really going to get spanked bad. This sucker looks like she might peak out above 125 before landfall.

And there isn't much to weaken it landmass wise between Naples and Miami.

If this hits Miami with cat3 winds then this could reach Katrina in dollars.

He said they should get a pretty big storm surge maybe even up to 18 feet.

Mark Sudduth is a trip. He just said wher is these 125mph winds. He is in the eyewall now. It just came ashore. he is saying the speed of the storm coming in might have affected the surface winds. He said this not a cat 3 storm. He is in that dark black color that came onshore just a few mins ago. He said its swirley and aint doing much. Not like a real cat 3. He is thinking Marco Island is getting the worst.

The eye is moving to his south. The strongest winds are in the south side of eye Winds have actually been much weaker on the north side of the center according to recent recon reports.

Its picking up more now. Mark S. had to park it for awhile. The storm is nowhere near like it is down in Everglade City and Marco Island. Naples looks good so far NO STORM SURGE and MINOR damage. He just said Hurricane Charley was 10 times worse. This is a baby compared to him. The good thing the storm is moving so fast the intense part of the Hurricane will only last for 20 30 mins. That is good news for EVERYONE.

Yeah he figures the worst areas are further south meaning the Everglades and he couldnt be there. Not a good research storm.

Of course there is no surge in Naples. It's in the f'n NE quad of the storm.
