This is a major even to everyone on the east coast of FL as well as those in the middle of the state (i.e. Orlando). This is basically a non-even for those in the West coast.
Once it loops around it will be a tropical storm (a lot of rain and wind <40mph) and may go back to Daytona or melbourne or Jax.
