No strong winds here until well after dark tonight. But I was wrong about the flood part. Six inches of rain so far today. I spent half the day moving stuff from under the riverhouse. The river is coming up about half a foot per hour. I have a few more things to move, but will get back to it in the morning. I'm hoping the projected crest is wrong, or it will be real close to getting in the house.
Looks like Tally is going to just miss being side swiped by the eyewall. Still likely to be their biggest ever wind event.
Storm surge in Tampa is on high end of forecast, so most likely will be on high end nearer the eye (15-20').
5.3K lightning strikes in the last hour within eyewall.
