Big flood producer. it's not a huge hurricane. there won't be a lot of wind damage. it is borderline between a nuisance for a day or two or sneaking up and producing a couple tornadoes or just enough storm surge to create damage. the first threat is the tornado threat. we just had one band go through the surf side area. we have the live shot. no tornadoes reported or anything like that. but that's the kind of stuff we're going to expect throughout the rest of the afternoon is squally type weather. this is a small. storm. it is still gusting to 52 in key west. that won't do any damage. even in ...
