Just got done with dinner after returning home from our Tennessee to Orlando/Lakeland run. I drove last night and picked up some gust in south Georgia around 30 mph but my wife took over around 7:00 this morning and she got spotty heavy rain and gust to 50 mph on the Turnpike and I-4.
The rain wasn't too bad, I think the heaviest fell before we got there because the ditches were overflowing. The best part was that there was almost NO TRAFFIC! We ran into more rain in Lakeland than we did in the Orlando area and saw a few downed trees along with debris in the roadways.
We were glad to get home though. Saw several wrecks along the way. People don't know how to drive anymore. We even had a Loomis Armored Car overturned on highway 84 near Quitman, Georgia this evening as we were headed home.
I did hear two people died as a result of downed powerlines in Florida but overall I think it was a pretty mild storm, at least compared to Ian.
Several semi's got blown over in the Jacksonville area including one on the Dames Bridge. It looked like they may have gotten the worst of the rain too, at least from what I saw on radar this morning.
