';A hurricane watch has been issued for the Florida Keys from Ocean Reef through the Dry Tortugas including Florida Bay due to tropical depression 18 which is expected to mature into a hurricane, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center.

Monroe County Emergency Management officials issued a mandatory evacuation beginning at noon Sunday for visitors and non-residents from the Seven Mile Bridge through Key West, including the Dry Tortugas. The visitor and non-resident evacuation may be extended later Sunday or early Monday to include the rest of the Keys.

Visitors with plans to travel to all of the Keys should postpone those plans until all precautionary messages are suspended.

All recreational vehicles throughout the Keys must leave. County and state parks are closing Sunday.

Tolls on the Card Sound Bridge are being suspended.

Although there are no general resident evacuation orders in effect at this time, residents in mobile homes and low-lying areas should begin preparing for possible evacuations. ';

Where might Deerfield Beach be from Orlando?

About 190 miles - by road - south and east of Orlando.

Oh drat. Just a skip and a jump.

Orlando should have no worried about this storm. So just calm down. Looks like it is going to go into the gulf.

(sarasota here)

Hello Sarasota.

Looks like it is going to pass throught South Florida and go into the Gulf, yes OUR Gulf. The Gulf of Mexico.

The only computer model that has been run since the more northward placement of they eye is the Bamm. As you observed, it shows it going to NO., but all we can do is wait until the morning and see what is happening there.

Five day forecast still has it heading toward South Texas ultimately.

But, who knows. Obviously, no one this year.
