Hurricane Emily struck Florida last night, ravishing high winds and excessive amounts of rain all across the state.  The panhandle was hardest hit, with highest sustained winds reported over 100 mph, and gusts up to 120 mph.  State and Federal authorities said it was too early to tell how much damage has been done, but they did say it will not be as bad as Hurricane Andrew.

Emily was only a Category 1 hurricane, the weakest type of storm that is classified a hurricane.  Andrew was a Category 3, with highest sustained winds of 140 mph, and gusts over 200 mph.
