NWS Miami has officially confirmed a tornado struck the Acreage this morning.

Also the sirens are being tested as I'm typing this (no storms in the immediate area)...probably not the best day to do it

I wasnt aware that Florida had tornado sirens

[Mouton]

FWIW, in Fernandina Beach, far northeast Florida, wind picking up a tad, still a zepher, barameter is 29.86 falling slowly at my house. Raining lightly now, had some heavier rain about 30 minutes ago but nothing substantial.

[Janie2006]

Based on radar trends it seems that the areas along the coast from Sarasota to Ft. Myers will be in for extended squally weather next.

[wxman57]

I'm measuring a forward speed over 26 kts now. At that rate the center will be inland in just over 2 hrs. Strongest winds are in the band of squalls already inland.

Looks like Andrea still holding on to her strength, buoy now reporting 1000mb with tropical force winds so I would think that her pressure is still around 997mb if not a little lower.

And that corresponds "nicely" (if we can use that word in this context) with ground obs and Doppler-indicated tornadoes in that area.

[NDG]

I'm measuring a forward speed over 26 kts now. At that rate the center will be inland in just over 2 hrs. Strongest winds are in the band of squalls already inland.

By the time the recon gets there she is almost going to be making landfall.
I find it odd that they did not do missions of every 6 instead of every 12 hrs.

Latest. Almost a naked swirl, but some light convection around the center.
