that * being President is not that inconceivable. There are enough stupid people that could have voted for him.

1. How bad is it down there?
We've had a few intermittent squalls up here in North Central Florida, but nothing worse than the usual daily afternoon monsoon yet. Should I give the dog a whopping dose of Benadryl, or is it just gusting?

2. SW Orlando, getting rained on pretty good, now.
I am just west of I-4, and the storm has pretty much been sitting east with an occasional tickle outward...lol.

Winds, I'd say gusts of 30. The east side of Orange has gotten it worse than me.

Are you near Ocala, or in Lake? They are saying that Lake shouldn't get hit too bad. That's good.

3. Gainesville - Alachua county
We're a bit to the west of Fay's predicted track right now, but we all know how fast that can change.

4. This has been an indecisive storm.
The different computer models were all over the place. You may get a good drenching, looks like the latest path has it going northeast of you, unless it decides to bend down.

Like your bumper sticker avatar. I have read a bit on Buddhism the last few years. I like it because it is compatible with science.
