They are south of the eye too. I'm impressed. Winds might be stronger than we think...

We were broadcasting wx obs from Ft. Pierce but their station went down ~8:53PM. Last I had there was 50MPH. Certainly higher now.

Stuart wx station is likewise down now.

From the looks of the MLB radar, if Boynton Beach is getting 85 kt sustained winds...I theorize that the northern eyewall coming in over the Fort Pierce to Vero Beach area has sustained winds around 100 kts...gusts to 120 kts or higher.

The eye continued to shrink...too bad there's been no recon in there since 10 p.m. :( Maybe we'll learn post-storm if the central pressure continued to deepen up to the coast (from private citizens and officials with barometers in the Jupiter-Stuart-Ft Pierce area) ...from the look of the radar, my guess is yes.
