A good friend is in Daytona beach, I have been in contact with him. They are bracing for the worst.

Just started getting to them. Power has been out and winds are at 100MPH right now.

CNN-HD has some unbelievable coverage. They just said they are on battery power and probably won't be around much longer.

Visibility is Maybe a hundred yards at most. The amount of wind and rain is unreal.

I've had the weather channel on all day at work. Watching these guys get fuckin worked over slowly more and more through-out the day. It looks pretty gnarly right now.

These reporters and weather men are standing out on the street fighting the winds and getting beat!! how about when the tree comes flying at them at 100 mph?! They will then be the center of the story they so crave

This is going to suck. My dad boarded a flight to Chicago and when I dropped him, he said my retirement house will be gone

My friend got thru to Irish Kevins in Key West.

For those who are concerned. Just got off a land line with Cameron Briody from Irish Kevins. Everyone is safe and secure. Not a drop of water in the bar. They r good and in good spirits. Can't speak for the rest of the island but the Kevin's folk are fine. Cell service and power are still out. But land lines may be working. Please share with anyone concerned.

Key West is good very little flooding. No power, water or internet at this time. Msnbc reporting spoke to owner of Ernest Hemingway museum people out and about on Duval street

Been watching the coverage for the last few hours. Intense is a good term for what I've seen.

I was texting with Tracy (Warlock1) earlier. They were gonna ride it out, but decided to evacuate yesterday morning.

They are ok right now, but hope they have to house to go home to afterwards.

AJ,Any news on Cape Coral ? I really hope all is good !!!!1

I just saw this on a Cape Coral page:

"Our son is a very accomplished at analyzing weather as a nationally know storm chaser. He just texted this to us: "Cape Coral doesn't look anywhere near as bad as it could have been in Naples, and the storm is weakening rapidly. The Northeast quadrant, the strongest part of the storm missed Cape Coral to the east, the back end of the storm is much weaker but the storm surge is of course the primary threat there. You sound like you guys are high enough though. I'm really optimistic for your chances of weathering that storm. Could have been a lot worse."

I'm really Glad the peoples on here decided to play it safe. I hope no real damage occurred or will happen to the homes. Living here in the mid-West, I cringe when I see temps range 30 deg. in an hour or so. I know what that could entail. My Families life is worth so much more then everything I own. I wish I had a week of warnings when it happens, but I never get that luxury.

Looks like the damage and surge wasn't as bad as anticipated thankfully. Haven't heard an update from Kenny D waiting patiently.
