the lightning is. had a wind gust in st. petersburg of 44 miles per hour. already had two tornado warnings because of land falling water spouts near marco island. all the things we talked about earlier, about the big storms to the east on the outer leg there of the storm, but obviously everybody looks at the center of the cone, but there are so many things away, hundreds of miles both ways, there will be power outages from the center of where this cone goes. and the governor was also talking about the storm surge. this is a big storm surge. this is 5 meters high. 15 feet high. so this water is not going to come in like a tsunami. it s going to be wave after wave after wave, each successive wave getting higher. all the way to st. marks, really in the way of the 15 foot potential surge. you need to get out of those areas. i know storm chasers want to be there to see it.
