Looks like Eta will be either a Florida TS or a Cat 1 hurricane

Also looks like it will hit the Keys, South Florida and somewhere on the West Coast.
Rain is pelting here in Jamaica - I can't imagine the overnight damage. The Caymans have lost power and Cuba is getting the worst of it now.
This system has a lot of rain. Stay safe.

We are about one mile wide between the ocean and the bay and our house is right in the middle. Might have to shimmy up the old gumbo limbo tree .

We've had rain for over two weeks (first Seta) and Eta for a week and today is the worst - it has been pelting here since about 4.30am.
