My Brother in Melbourne FL just lost his power about 3 hours ago but his cell phone was still working when we spoke a few minutes ago. He said wind was gusting to 50 - 55mph.

It will be coming ashore about 10 around Jupiter or Vero.

We've had our power "blip" a couple of times, so I went offline for four hours to see if it was actually going to "go" but we seem to be fine. OTOH, the full effects aren't supposed to get HERE until about midnight. The good thing is...well there are TWO:

FIRST I have a big old Marine deep cycle battery and an inverter so I can run my breathing machine.

Second, relates to the first: Even when the power does go off, my home is in the same power grid as a local hospital. So therefore we are a "priority" right along with the E.R. After Andrew, we got our power within 72 hours. Parts of Miami-Dade County were without power for six WEEKS.

Nice and breezy here north of Orlando. No rain right now. It feels really nice out right now.
