5. I'm in Sarasota.

There has been a lot of coastal flooding. St. Armands Circle and Mote were closed down from what I heard.

The "usual" spots that flood have again. The wife and I drove along the coast near Marina Jacks and the water was high but streets were passable.

A mobile home got trashed by the wind...lots of limbs down and some trees but nothing I'd consider major.

Some streets on Siesta Key were flooded and closed.

I'd guess everything will be fine tomorrow.
