Way to go, SF.

I woke up at about 2:15am, turned on the TV, watched til they showed an update, and then went back to sleep. I couldn't tell how close it was and didn't want to stay up for another hour or so to see if I was right.

I was watching Dave Schwartz and Jim Cantore (from South Padre Island) between 4:30am and 5:00am Eastern. The center of Erika was just about ashore, if it wasn't already.
