I'm in Sarasota we have a little rain with no winds. It's only parts of the East coast of Florida. The weather people always make a big deal over everything!

I remember something similar to this that happened down in the Naples Florida area back in the late 90s. It was not fun.

I’m in Orlando myself. It’s been raining since about two this afternoon and it’s 930 right now. It’s supposed to rain through tomorrow. It’s not unbearable. Hopefully it won’t be.
