I'm in west Palm Beach and there is nothing happening here guys, still have power and just some wind and rain outside.
Stay safe guys

Same here... kinda strange

Yea I thought it was supposed to be way worst but really it looks normal outside. Melbourne is supposed to get hit hard but that's what they said about wpb and nothing

 

[Reeferdood]

Every rain band has missed us so far... not getting complacent tho...

PM me if you need something

It has a second eye. Hopefully it keeps staying off shore. Storm ha been so unpredictable.

 

[locito277]

Looking like it may not hit land after all.

4 am update.... still have power but loosing landscape, wind is howling right now....

 

[tcarter1936]

700 am and still haven't gone out side, winds are really strong and the eye is now north of melbourne. Not sure what I'll find when I venture out. I will update.

well beings the posts slowed down, im assuming theres lots of power outages.

 

[tcarter1936]

Around 120,000 outages,so far I've been lucky here in Melbourne

I am in Broward County and have power but much south of the larger impact Palm Beach County and north got it a lot worse. PBC had 50k houses without power. Prob worse farther north.

 

[Pugfishluv3]

Cnn says about 450,000 with out power :(

 

[Brad Bessett]

It's over 600,000 now. Sad times in FL.

 

[themcnertney]

The radar image is an incredible yet awful sight.

 

[jsker]

Look like you are getting a little break @Reeferdood Radar

It's over 600,000 now. Sad times in FL.

Just remember that not all power outages are created equal. All the reports I have seen show the bulk distribution system to be holding up fairly well. It is the local distribution that is failing (as expected). This should make recovery quick for all but the more remote customers.
