TS Andrea, the first named Atlantic storm of the season continues to organize, but so far has only maximum sustained winds of ~60mph. Florida will get quite a bit of rain in addition to winds. The real issue will be what happens after it crosses the Florida peninsula and re-emerges in the Atlantic. Right now tracking models suggest it will be hugging the coast closely, which will prevent much strengthening.

The only people who have to worry are the fools that built on a flood plain.
Didn’t even disturb the Spanish Moss hanging from my ancient oak tree in Charleston, overlooking the Ashley River and Magnolia Gardens. http://www.magnoliaplantation.com/ Y’all stop by and we’ll drink a few mint juleps while we watch the 1830’s steamboat dock for the sea level to rise….
