Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
The two centers don't look strong or organized as they were yesterday.
Just damn.

Pity Clyde wasn't on the list this year.
As long as they don't call for an evacuation.
And if they do,
I ain't goin'.
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't, I ain't.
Can't make me.

OK, 2 things here:
couldn't they have picked Clyde instead of Charlie, so it could be Bonnie & Clyde?
Real issue is, looks like Charlie is going to be pushing water up into the tampa bay/intercostal waters there for Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
That is bad, because you can get sudden flooding with storm surge which is very dangerous.
A lot of people live in that area from up north (is that a wild understatement or what?!), and don't know what to be aware of, or what to do when a storm comes though.
***************************************************************************
Today is thursday--Charlie is not supposed to hit till late tomorrow afternoon. Left for walmart at 7am today--with my list of how to survive the camping thing. No water at walmart, no batteries, no flashlights and no propane tanks. Got all my groceries there. They are about out of everything. then went to home depot for the lamp oil and batteries and propane..SOLD OUT!
Went to winn dixie--no parking space anywhere. So went to walgreens and found the batteries and lamp oil--the time is now 10:20am thursday and (husband) is still out looking for propane.
I have to work from 1 to 10:30 tonight. (Friend) worked at publix till after midnight last night and they called her in at 8am today. The stores have lines a mile long and the shelves are going empty quick.
(Daughter) has decided to stick out the hurricane at her house by herself. She has to be on hospital staff all day tomorrow. I told her to put up her patio furniture and anything else out side. She will come her after work today to pick up some food and candles and batteries. (Son-in-law) is in Kiwait (sp) having a fit. I told her to pack up her papers for (Son-in-law) and the cats and get out of there and she won't do it.
Sarasota just announced that they have MANDATORY evacuations not voluntary. McDill is now empty and CENTCOM has moved. Our evacuations and school closings will be at noon. (Husband) just got back and got the propane..Found it at Sports Aurhority.
Have to duct tape the windows tomorrow. Gotta pull out trash cans and flower pots and anything else laying around outside. Have to tie down the furniture on the porch. Super shock the pool for water to wash. I can always boil it and use it to cook with if I have too. We should be fine unless a tree falls on the house. the worry we have!
(Daughter) needs to make up her mind--if she stays she might not be able to get here later with lines and trees down.
Laptop and cell phones are charged and ready too. I'll keep in touch as this gones on. (Son) is not going to the courthouse tomorrow but (Daughter) has to work..Hopefully she will come home early. I (thank God) have off friday.
If you look at the point where Bonnie and Charlie's paths intersect, that is where I am.
Oh well,
It will be fun watching the new subdivision flood (the one that was build in a drained swamp...idjits).
