Latest update is Cape Coral and 25 miles to north and south are experiencing gusts to near 100mph and tidal surging of 3-5’ in 10-15 minutes. A phenomena of “blow out/suck out” tides has occurred last 3 hours, emptying some canals, locks and even Bays of most water which surges back in very rapidly. We are fearful of a tsunami like surge of 5-10’ in a minute or two but that’s not happened so far.
Even east central and southeast Florida coast may receive hurricane force gusts , Orlando also.
After that it’s hard to say but DC area still looks to be in some squalls by Sunday night as the remnants of the tropical system passes about 75 miles to DCs southwest
