Jeanne came ashore about 11 PM last night.
This morning, the 9AM position is said to be 27.7N, 81.4N moving WNW.

The storm is projected to take a turn northwards, but the last few projections
I've seen keep moving that turn further west. The latest projection I've
seen shows the storm moving across the Tampa-St. Petersburg area in about 12
hours. One point not mentioned is that we are near full moon, with highest
tides of the month.
