What do you have up there? Winds? Rain? Heard disney was closed til 3?

[hedwig-snowy.livejournal.com]

Winds about 30-40. Rain. 3-4 tornado sightings, 2 touched down. 1 in Cocoa, 1 near Melbourne. Think Disney is closed, but may open after the storm passes. Need to sell those Mickey balloons!!! Universal, etc... closed. Odd...they said Sea World is open today.
