heidi8, hope you're still browsing, because I'm fighting my connexion here.

The eye is now centered on Palm Beach County, enclosing both Boca Raton and WPB proper. I feel bad for the migrantes and other poor people in Belle Glade -- that place has no resources. Miami and Lauderdale are getting the bottom edge of the eyewall and the first band outside of that.

From my limited view out door windows, it looks like the hurricane-hardened poinciana's lost half its fight - there's a lot more light outside, both front and back yards, than my foliage was allowing for yesterday. The tree in the back is a massive... erm... 'jambalamba plum'. That tree's over 50 years old.

We've got a mysterious thump on the roof Ma is insisting is a branch, but we had this thump during Katrina, too.

Best get going, I've got barely more than half my battery left.

P.S. The eye's about 35 miles across right now, and is about 1/3 of the way off the Palm Beach coast already.
