I would say that you could be in for some nasty weather in Sarasota, depending on whether the storm makes its turn north while at sea, or while inland.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. If it continues as it is, you will have close to hurricane force winds.

Well, there's another thread asking if it's gonna get upgraded at 5am to a Cat 3 because of winds... also this is definitely worth a look:
http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=47580

That to me shows the outer bands are already on top of Florida so absent any reassuring info from a good met, I (who am not a met) would not expect the best weather Saturday. The national weather service in Tampa Friday night (kind of early on) suggested that winds Saturday night might keep people from working outside so they should finish their preps early... looking at that link I mentioned, I'm wondering if any later than morning is even reasonable. Good luck, and take care. :)

Yoda, that's based on the NHC's track right? So, if she goes more west that could change for the worse right? I hate to keep bugging you, but I think alott of us on this coast are still suffering from Charley aftershocks! And, after seeing what happend to Orlando and such after Charley, many of us are a but jumpy...Thank you so much for all your help and understanding!

Gusty winds prob not to hurricane force and rain are what you can expect if the storm stays on track

A bit more Southerly of a course (If it doesn't curve NW ward as predicted and you can get hurricane winds in Sarasota.

Be prepared.
