I think it's pretty shallow there as well - as to the shelf and all. Probably could build up quite a major surge for Citrus around to Taylor Counties. Except for some fishing villages, I don't think there are a whole lot of people up that way (Lake City is probably the biggest city I've been to in that region) which is further up. I don't think anyone lives in Dixie, Taylor or Levy Counties (relative to much of the rest of Florida) - not that I wish harm on anyone, but there isn't much that way if someone actually did have to take a big hit IMHO.

Tell that to Dixiebreeze.

This storm is truly nerve wracking at this point. Never thought I'd wish away a weekend but I am very anxious to see where Fay decides to visit. I have a feeling that no matter what she does, we will feel the effects in SW. FL. Only consolation at this point is that we are in the center of the five day cone.

But tonight, thoughts and prayers are with our neighbors to the South.
