I shoudl have waited for the 2am release of the updated forecast track.. The storm is actually more east again and they are now saying the hardest stuff around 9am but the hard stuff is now around 55mph max instead of up to 120mph so it just got a dramatically different forecast.. again everyone warning that it's still early for the storm to decide to head more west and then the old numbers kick back in and if it goes enough even more.. It's also finally getting some times that around mid afternoon we're back to about what it is right now (which I would find a windy storm like many we've all seen when at disney). do it's looking like dinner timeish we're back to normal and the cleanup / recovery starts..
Still a formidable forecast but not too bad. For those that aren't from a hurricane/tropical storm, that's still enough to do some damage, break/knock over weaker trees, throw loose things around and generally emergency crews stop operating when winds are somewhere in the 40s to 50s so it's right at the numbers that they will not be out and about helping folks.
