Subject: RE: BS: Florida Mudcatters - how are you?!
Looks now like the eye will cross over my house - of course that could change. What we're looking at is a hurricane that sticks out 180-220 miles from the eye. It has been holding steady at 9 - 10 mph. That means anyone who lives close to the actually track of the eye will get between 36 and 48 hours worth of rain and wind from 40mph to over 100mph. Figure about 1/2 inch + of rain for every hour. 18 to 30 inches of rain across the entire center of the state.

Think Bangladesh in the monsoon.
