If you are in Gainesville, you should be fine. I can confidently say that after living here most of my life. I was also in SFL in 2004, and visited SWFL after Wilma. We will get at worst a Cat 1 up here, but if it follows the projected path, Miami and the whole SE corridor is F'd, Orlando will get slammed, and Jax will have large amounts of flooding. I pray it pushes out into the Atlantic. The Low pressure front is pushing through Orlando now. I hope it speeds up to help push North quicker. You are right, this will be devastating if it continues as projected.The damage that Matthew did in terms of people's psyche is evident and seriously disturbing. Even '04 was more an inconvenience than a devastation. Anyone who dealt with Andrew and/or the relief truly gets what these storms can do. Not sure anyone who didn't live through it really understands it. Really hope I'm wrong, but this looks bad.
