We just had first feeder band, Altamonte Springs...Took about 5 minutes, next burst expected in 25 minutes....
Main eye now plotted just west of Orlando then going striaight up towards Jacksonville.
Most stores out of batteries.
Just reported accident on I-4 main highway rushing to clear lanes. Traffic was requested to be off major highways by 2-4pm.
The TV coverage reminds me of the major earthquakes I went through in Woodland Hills , Ca. EXCEPT..... there wa no warning for the quakes.

My cable is out, my yard is over-watered, and that's about it from outside of Tampa here. At least I still have power. Folks in Ft. Myers, Cape Coral and Sarasota have none........something like 250K people without power in those areas.

My tthoughts and prayers go to those impacted to the south and north of us (I'm in Altamonte Springs)..
Lottsa wind and rain and we are still without power.
Sadly, the news reports two new named storms are forming..
Take care everyone
