Well....
Tropical storm Fred is bearing down on the area. Winds, as of 4AM, are at 50 mph with movement NNW@9 mph. Schools are closed as are several businesses. Landfall sometime this evening. Still is about 160 miles away from me.
The biggest expectation from Fred are: rain...around 4-8 inches, wind.. probably 50-60 mph sustained with gusts to hurricane strength.
Storm surge...1-3 ft.
Tornadoes....always a possibility...a/o now it is a low probability
Power outage...possible in some areas
I'll be OK. Backup generator good to go. Steel shutters ready. Neighbors are good to go as well.
Welcome to Florida and my neighborhood...just had to say that..lol
