Do you have any more tracks for it Corrus or radar imaegs of where it is right now?
I'm hoping everyone is safe right now. Miss M, hope you don't see any damage at your place if it does head directly to you. Rob and Dave, hope your apartment isn't shaking as much anymore. Everyone else, I'm thinking about you!

I have a wet/dry vac and would gladly let you use it, but the problem is, I'm still stuck here in northern IL and you're in FL. Even through this storm, I still wish I lived there right now. Can you tell us what it's like out there right now Dave or anyone else that's on and lives in the area. If you go outside for photos, STAY SAFE!

Hurricane Jeanne Update
Hurricane Jeanne Leaves Over 1.5 Million Without Power
UPDATED: 11:51 am EDT September 26, 2004
STUART, Fla. -- Hurricane Jeanne blasted ashore in Florida with drenching rains and 120 mph wind, tearing off rooftops, hurling debris through the air and sending huge waves crashing into buildings before weakening as it sliced across the central part of the state.
At least 1.5 million people were without power.
The Category 3 storm became the fourth hurricane to pummel Florida in a single season, something that has not happened since 1886 when Texas was the target.
The three other hurricanes -- Charley, Frances and Ivan -- have all hit within the last six weeks.
Debris left from the other storms became airborne as Jeanne made landfall shortly before midnight near the southern tip of Hutchinson Island near Stuart, about 35 miles north of West Palm Beach.
The same area was ravaged by Frances just three weeks ago.
At the Ocean Breeze trailer park in Jensen Beach, roofs of mobile homes were peeled back like the lids of sardine cans.
Computer printers, hair dryers and propane canisters littered the road. Metal sidings clanged in the wind.
Rain whipped sideways in sheets, sections of road were washed out by pounding waves and at least a foot of water rushed through some streets in Vero Beach.
"The last three weeks have been horrific and just when we start to turn the corner, this happens," said Joe Stawara, owner-manager of Fairlane Harbor Mobile Home Estates, where half of the 232 trailers were damaged.
The 400-mile diameter storm then swirled north into central Florida, an area saturated by rain from previous hurricanes that caused billions of dollars in damage and killed at least 70 people.
One person was electrocuted in Miami early Sunday after touching a downed power line, and minor injuries were reported.
Bridges from the mainland to Hutchinson Island were flooded and impassable early Sunday. On the barrier island, water rushed through the bottom floor of Atlantis condominiums, where John Lumberson and son Josh rode out the storm. The parking lot was buried in 5 feet of sand and water, and sand rose to kitchen cabinets inside first floor condos.
"It sounded like the whole building was coming down," said Josh Lumberson. "You could hear every metal screw coming out of the walls."
