Watching the local news out of Jacksonville is a joke.  Every station is reporting and acting like a major category 5 is on a direct path to the city.

So far here in Melrose we have just had rain all day pretty much non-stop, no wind to speak of.  I expect that to change later on tonight, but I don't think that we will get near the damaging winds that I was expecting.  Hopefully we don't lose power.

This is why I look at the NHC site for facts. That other stuff is fluff. Infeartainment.
