It’s begining to get windy. The outer bands of Frances are moving
through. We get strong gusts and then some consistent winds.
My folks are over in Polk and the eye of the storm is making it’s way
past them right now. I will give them a call in a few minutes
once the heavy stuff moves past them. Cindy’s brother and his
family are over in Port St. Lucie which is pretty much where the storm
made landfall. Haven’t heard from them since yesterday
morning. Will try to get an update today.
They have closed the Skyway Bridge has been closed, and the waves are
starting to break over some of the other bridges. They may close
the bridges over the bay soon.
Took Lindsey down the street and there are lots of leaves and small
branches everywhere. No trees down yet but the neighbors were out
waiting for one of the really tall pines in back of one of the houses
to snap off.
Watching the radar loops it looks like it is moving towards the west
and north. The further north it moves might mean less of the
strong winds on the north and east part of the storm would miss us.
