We are on the other side of the state from where it will hit land so by the time it gets here the winds will only be ~70mph. We are having to house some family friends from the west coast of Florida so we are going to have to stay put.

You guys shouldn't make out too bad in J-ville but I'd really hate to be in South Florida right about now.

[MCourson]

Yea we will be alright, just had to spend all morning taking stuff inside, and tying stuff down. Just trying to cut down on debris but that probably doesnt help much when the neighbors have a lot of junk outside... oh well.

[The SPEEDY]

Good luck man, don't leave the trucks under any trees.

[MCourson]

Forecasts are gusts up to 80mph now

 

Calm before the storm...

My parents live near Dade City (NE of Tampa) so Charlie should be going by right about now.

[MCourson]

I hope they fair out well.

 

My mom is part of the Florida Dept. of Health Emergency Response team so she has to be in Lakeland Fl in the morning. I'll get her to get some pics.

Ha, I was talking to an old friend who lives on Key West, she said they didn't board up anything or put anything away, just drove to her grandparents house and hope their house blows over so they can biuld a new one

 

Not the brightest idea, but oh well

 

Like I said to MC earlier, I'd really like to go out into one of those

[rascal]

WOW!

[MCourson]

I was at least hoping for a little wind. The most we got came from the ceiling fan.

Cedar Point is awesome. Where are you from. I live about an hour and a half from Sandusky.
