I think there's very little danger here. I would expect some rain, possibly briefly heavy, and maybe a little wind but not too much (15-20 kt). If it comes near us at all, we'll be on the west side of it. Tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise, so our winds will be from the northeast approximately, and they will have passed over land for perhaps 5/8 of a rotation.
I'm on high ground, so no risk of flooding, though some other parts of Tallahassee are fairly likely to flood. The county just south of us (we're in Leon; Wakulla is between us and the gulf coast) will probably flood a lot if there's tropical-storm rain, but it always does and they're used to it.
I'm not worried at all, actually. Worst that would happen is that the Tallahassee Amateur Radio Society meeting on Thursday evening may be poorly attended.
