shower. by far the bulk of the heaviest stuff especially down from clearwater south, wins have been gusting up to 40 mi./h, and i'm hoping there's nobody that you know is on the boat in this area. because clearly lightning is a real issue. and, down to the beach over towards braden 10, and right on down towards the sarasota area. so the coastal areas much south of interstate 4 are getting the bulk of this action. i think that the timetable is identical. and, the second half of the day gets kind of stormy. and as we mentioned top out today a normal -- 96 as the afternoon high. tampa, we have a storm at the
