Here's one of the radar loops... http://radar.weather.gov/radar/loop/DS.p37cr/si.kamx.shtml

You have to refresh it about every six minutes -- it runs about 10 minutes behind, so it's pretty much real-time.

As you watch it, one of the things you'll see is that the eye wobbles around a good bit. I almost had a stroke a half-hour ago when it suddenly dropped south about 5 miles, but now it's in the process of wobbling back north. The real course is due west, but it will wander above and below that line quite often.

What anyone in WDW should watch for is how the eye behaves with regard to I-75. I-75 is the red east-west line across the lower part of the state. Right now, the storm is below I-75. If it continues west, it will pass over Naples and into the Gulf. However if it makes a 90 degree right turn before getting to Naples, WDW is going to get hit with a major rain event tomorrow.

Sebastian is probably getting some very light feeder bands, but they've had the worst they'll get. Flagler Beach is way out of the way -- unless the silly thing goes out into the Gulf and comes back on Jax!

Jim, this is exactly the impression I got when I spoke with my uncle this afternoon. He said he actually welcomed the rain because Sebastian was a bit below normal rainfall for the season. So I was glad to hear that was the worst his area will get because they were so very hard hit last Sept.

After reading online news reports this morning of the damage and 3-4 deaths in southern FL, I hope you're ok Jim......as well as any other Florida DIS'ers. :grouphug:
