5 Quotes by Michele Cimino

For us in Central Florida, we are not in the projected path yet but we are getting ever so close.

Right now, where the storm is tracking, its effect (on Central Florida) will be pretty minimal. But we know how these things can wobble. If it wobbles a bit north of the current path, that could bring us in more rainfall.

Current movement puts the system over the western edge of Cuba and eventually in the Gulf of Mexico and maybe even across our state by the end of the week or into the weekend.

This is not going to be a long, drawn out event over a couple of weeks with this system moving across our state. Instead, it is going to continue the track that pulls it to the west over the next 24 hours. Then Rita is expected to gain some strength. I think at a Category 2 is expected by the time it does make landfall in the Keys.

I don't think the Keys are going to escape getting pretty much the brunt of this storm.
