this storm has such a small hurricane force wind field you could be 20 miles away and barely see gusts to hurricane strength!!!But if your inside that wind field watch out!

True. What Im affraid of however, is when its gonna go through eye wall replacement cycles and how large the new eye becomes. that area of hurricane force winds could expand for all I know.

If we still lived in Boynton Beach: 33.7 mi. in 97.5 hrs

Since we moved to Iowa City, IA in July: 1175.3 mi. in 106.3 hrs.

But we still have to deal with tornados... and hogs.
