I think we're outta here early, early Friday morning. We are most likely going to head inland up to Atlanta with the rest of our family and two nurses (and the animals). Should be a fun trip...

Qarl, take care and be safe.
We are going to fly to Biloxi (already planned gambling weekend). We're flying out of Tampa Saturday morning, if the airport stays open. We'll see everything Monday around noon, hopefully everything where we have left it. |

What's going to make this bad is...
Bigstorm, compared to Charley Stronger winds compared to Charley Expected 15-20 hours of hurricane force winds, compared to 2-3 hours of winds with Charley. Direct hit from the east coast. Central Florida hasn't had a direct hit from the East in the last 100 years or so. Plus this is only 3 weeks since the last storm, and everyone is still recovering, supplies are low, and there is tons of debris left to be picked up from Charley (cut up trees, roof parts, etc.) We just spent $$$$$ getting everything fixed from the last storm (roof, replanting trees, cutting up fallen trees, etc.). ... just to turn around and have to do it all again. I'm majorly depressed right now... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I just got back from a my fishing trip to see Charley's destruction... It was horrendous and only missed the place that we have been staying for the last 20 years by 5 miles... It was odd, hardly any damage and then mass destruction all at once..
We'll be thinking of you guys down there and I'm really sweating this one because my teener is in Orlando getting a full suspension rework at Mark's house(while I'm creating more HP for it). he is right in the path of the storm and already wrote to see how good my insurance is on the car. any of you guys that have to migrate North, come up our way... The Mountains break those storms up really well! |

You are evacuating out of Plant City? I am in Tampa, I didn't think it is that big of a deal.
I mean, it is a big deal, just I didn't think that it is for us. My mom is down in Boca Raton, just north of Ft. Lauderdale, hopefully it won't hit down there too bad. Good thing for her she has the hurricane windows or whatever, so she has no shutters to put up. |

My Dad in Orlando said that they have a mandatory evacuation. They expect Francis to be a VERY dangerous storm. Stay safe everyone living down that way!!

No evacuation for Plant City, we're just leaving for a pre-planned long weekend of gambling in Biloxi.
We've been watching the forecast and there's a possibility of hurricane force winds in Polk county, about 10 mi east of PC. For Charley, we were getting 50 - 60 mph winds. The winds will be bad, but the storm is expected to slow down and stay over FL for 16 - 24 hr, with rain over 12" and with all of the rain we've gotten in the last 2 - 3 months, it's going to flood.... |

This is only projected of course. Charley hooked to the right for reasons unknown. I don't mean to frighten anyone, but if you are in the way of Frances please go elsewhere. Good Luck.

Just wanted to say best wishes to everybody in the path of this monster. I am kind of a weather nut and have been wathcing this one since it was way out in the Atlantic. Could be worse than Andrew if it strengthens before landfall.
The real bummer is that there is still a lot of hurricane season left, looks like one of the worst in years. Good luck and stay safe. |
