Thanks. Will be OK. We are all ready and waiting. Latest radar reports (continuous on local TV) and airplane rides into it every few hours indicate that it still has not reached hurricane speed (74 MPH for a Category 1) but it will be by the time it hits land tonight. It does not have an eye yet but will very possibly become more organized and have one. It packs lots of rain. It is over the Bahamas now. The center is expected to hit between Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. It will cover all of South Florida to include Miami too.
