#2 Inland surge behind Sanibel likely to be around 8 feet... but that's plenty.

I hope Lee county wasn't caught flat footed... I think the wind brains were pointig to a land fall near Cedar Key.

Be safe... the good news is that the shelling is going to be awesome.

#3 Item of interest:

CENTCOM HQ is located at MacDill AFB. Which is on a small peninsula that sticks out into eastern Tampa bay, and is surrounded by water on 3 sides. And from when I was there, I don't remember much terrain there that was more than 10 ft above sea level.

#4 I wonder how long it will take Skeery to scream FOUL! because Bush has declared Fla a major disaster area and released FEMA funds, etc.

Anyone taking bets?
