Especially considering the track just shifted even further West. I'm interested to see the next Euro model which should come around 230/3

Tampa perhaps but St Pete has the largest county population in the country which is dominated by trailer parks.  This will be devastaing

I'm just hoping Matthew cleared out some of the old dead trees so maybe not too many will fall this time.

Getting better by the hour.  Even that 70 mph is a much tighter 5 hour window versus the 80mph sustained winds for 9 hours which was originally forecasted yesterday am --- Here in PVB we're slated for 90mph between 1am-7am on Monday via Weather Underground hourly forecast.
