Reports are still not in from some of the Lower Keys where the eye crossed.
Total storm rainfall accumulation at my house in Miami was 8.76". There is extensive tree damage however most structures in my area look good.
Elsewhere Jose is weakening and is expected to meander for a while. We'll need to reassess him in a few days.
Until later, Matt.
