This hotel is amazing. I went to look out the window for about 5 seconds and the hotel to the north has gone dark. We still have power. It is around 11:30 p.m. here. The power map will not load.
The eye wall (which the radio says the American model showed this track. I saw the European model showing Clermont at one point.) is going through Polk to Lake Counties slightly to the west of me. My colleague and friend, Lisa, who took me in last time is in Lake County. She lives by a lake, but up pretty high on a hill. I am sure there will be flooding there. They could see gusts of 100+ mph. They are saying the eye wall is half an eye wall, so that is good. It is 30 miles wide with 100 winds. It will miss me by 10 miles or more. It is 68 miles from Orlando now. We should be through it by 3 a.m.
I am about ready to go to sleep. I canโt hear anything in my room.
