Looks like Florida is now in the cone with the latest update.
Still on the very western edge of the cone though, I'd be more worried if we were right in the center. Still, we should see some very bad weather here regardless.

Not going to lie, i'm pretty excited lol. It's about time we finally got a hurricane
If I had it my way we would have Category 1 conditions here with maybe a 3-4ft storm surge, 5-8ft waves, and no power for 24-36 hours. I'd rather not have a direct hit though, evacuating would be a pain in the ass and my front yard has some beautiful old trees that I would worry about falling on the house.
We won't Category 4 conditions here unless we get a direct hit. We're probably going to get strong tropical storm or Category 1 conditions which isn't that big of a deal or life threatening....unless you're an idiot.
even at category 1, storm surge could be very high if the storm is large and stays offshore for a while. The storm isn't very large though. Storm surge forecast for Haiti is modest for Cat 4 (7-11 feet); about the same or slightly less than Sandy in NYC
