OMG, my father-in-law lives in Indian Rocks Beach. And we have other family members from Cincinnati down there visiting him. One in particular is disabled....what time was this? Earlier today? Sure hope it didn't materialize.
Keep me posted.

Edit:
Just checked current conditions for IRBeach. Storms are not over with, just yet. That is such a narrow piece of land there at Indian Rocks....

It stayed north of the Seminole area, which is where StromLover (another Storm2K member) is from. Thank goodness!
