Your live blog was a resource of confidence in what was happening. I refreshed frequently to get the most recent update in real time. From pulling the "fire alarm" to landfall, your work, Ryan, was exceptional. Thank you!

We're all good here! Scraped by with only minor damage by the narrowest of margins. I'm wiped out after the insanity of the last week though... let's hope the Atlantic gives us a well-deserved break.

I am in Venice, FL. Do I need to worry about storm surge through the day? High tide is at noon——the tide yesterday at noon was scary enough!

Sorry I didn't get to addressing this in real-time. Hopefully it didn't get too bad for you.

Ryan,

I know you are busy and your work is appreciated. However, what do you see happening after Idalia clears the east coast? Some strings of spaghetti show it coming back to the mainland.

Following and sharing. Thanks. Lots of rain here in east suburb of Tallahassee, wind. Is there a side (East, West) to it?

That was a wild band across eastern Leon for sure. Max gust in the county that I've seen was actually right by me in Southwood at the FSUS WeatherSTEM (56 mph).
