Morning update as of the 9 UTC NHC report
Chances of TS force winds: 85%
Chances of Hurricane force winds: 20%
Right now outside it alternates between calm and not much going on to some pretty heavy gusts and strong winds. But not “you can’t walk” type winds.
The weather radio is going off every hour or so with new hurricane warnings in the county. The last one was about 20 miles south of us. The one before that was only about 5 miles north of us.
As of this very second, pretty calm. But not likely to stay that way.
We can now see the eye on local radar, but it isn’t at closest approach yet.
Looking at the Radar though, where Ivan is is just barely outside the eye of Wilma right now, so he’s probably getting the worst of it right now.
