We are expecting tropical storm conditions here. Winds should start picking up around 9:00am. Won't see heavy rain & thunderstorms till about 4:00pm & we'll be beaten by that till the cows come home. Expecting 2 to 4 foot storm surge. Nothing like what we had with Ian (that storm beat the crap out of us).

I hope everyone stays safe.
