Dear Mitch,
I live in Jacksonville, Fl. and we're awaiting Hurricane Floyd which is supposed to hit tomorrow between 2:00 and 6:00 p.m.  They now say that the eye of Floyd will be closer to Jax. than any other Fla. coastal city (within 25-60 miles) depending on it's wobble at the time and they say that the hurricane force winds will reach 50 miles inland.

Mayor Delaney issued a mandatory evacuation this morning at 7:00.  After 6:00 tonight they will not let anybody else out.  A lot of people at the beach are choosing to stay and ride it out.  St. Augustine has just issued a mandatory evacuation of the city.  We live 10 miles from the beach and have decided to stay.  We've boarded up the house as best we could.  Most of our neighbors are staying also.  The roads are so jammed that if you decided to leave you couldn't go anywhere.  I 10 and 75 are
bumper to bumper to Lake City.  Keep us in your prayers.     L.I.
