The first of the leading bands of rain came in about 3:50 with brief, heavy showers and gusty winds. It passed quickly, but there's plenty more comin'. According the the Weather Underground web site,
"Marion County winds are expected to increase after sunset
and should reach 40 to 60 mph between 9 PM and midnight. Winds are
may increase to hurricane force over eastern portions of the
County... especially over the Ocala National Forest... between midnight
and 3 am. A gradual decrease in the winds is expected after 5 am. If
the storm continues on a more eastward track a revision of the
forecast windfield may be required and wind warnings for Marion
County may be discontinued later today or tonight."

The outer edges of the main body is currently about 30 miles south of Orlando and a new, revised storm track has the storm heading east of Ocala and moving off the coast around Palm Coast, about 35 miles north of Ormond Beach and about 60 miles south of Jacksonville.

While we won't get a direct hit, the worst winds in these storms are on the western side, that's the edge that we will see.
