Tropical Storm Force Winds Blow Through SW Florida

This afternoon was certainly a rumbly one. Torrential downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds kept us on our toes. A 51 mph wind gust was reported in Corkscrew (Collier county.) That same storm trekked into Lee county and produced a 58 mph wind gust at Page Field and continued into Charlotte county where the airport in Punta Gorda registered a 59 mph wind gust. Only a few lingering showers remain and will taper off this evening, but tomorrow afternoon could be very similar to what we experienced this afternoon.
