This camera is shaking (maybe that's normal. I don't know.)

Sarasota is next, after Fort Myers.

The eye made landfall over Marco Island as a Catagory 3 at about 3:35 p.m. today.

Still pretty calm near Ocala. 2.5 inches of rain.

I think it is supposed to hit us about 3AM. I don't know if I'll go to bed or stay up. DH will be up.

NWS says to expect 100+ mph winds all the way up the coast to Tampa.

UPDATE Pinellas County, Tampa Bay –
Still 9 hours before the worst of IRMA arrives here.
Strong wind gusts breaking tree branches and palm fronds.
Steady light rain.
Birds are still savoring striped sunflower seeds at bird feeder. Primarily cardinals, tweeting loudly.
Dog is mesmerized watching out the back patio door which has a CRIMSAFE screen that is tested to withstand winds up to 200 MPH. Hope so!
Newish aluminum roof meets all hurricane codes, so hope it stays put!
Tonight, we’ll be in the center small hallway away from all windows.

Hopefully you can get some rest . . . I can't imagine anyone being at peace until Irma is long gone.

Just awoke from an hour nap to really strong winds and lots of rain - no downed trees here - a big oak in front near the apartment driveway/sign is standing, we've a row of pines in the back by the bedroom and next building over.

And the power keeps threatening to go out (flickering)

"Passing through the North eye wall. Terrible noise. Whiteout. This is just like Donna according to hubby. Trees falling, metal flying."
