agreed, a direct hit on TB would wipe out downtown for a while, and the population is higher in that area.
Even though I am a 'Cane, I wish you Gators luck! Hope you just have to dry out when it's all over with. The football trash-talking can commence when everyone comes through all right!

I would crack the windows. When the hurricane passes, the low pressure can cause them to explode outwards. I haven't been through a bad hurricane in years but can still remember the sound of windows breaking one after the other.

I can't get through, the line is busy. Hopefully somebody else is calling and telling them to get to a shelter, too!According to a poster on another thread, Jeb Bush just told people to stay put, it's probably too late to evacuate - better to be in your home than trapped in a car. If you do get ahold of them, tell them to secure their papers and medications in some kind of watertight storage.

just heard the news myself. What a nightmare. Cat 4 winds plus brutal storm surge. Plus it's gonna hit at high tide.
Looks like Ft. Myers area is looking at a 15-18ft storm surge.

Looks like it is coming in south of Tampa, not up the bay. Looks like it will cross Florida and be back in Atlantic and hit the coast again. Tampa may have dodged a bullet again.

This one is strengthening fast!
Gotta go, there are some nasty black clouds heading this way, I'm going to check it out for funnels and start unplugging stuff.
God Bless, everyone! GG

Tape the windows and leave a crack somewhere in each room. We had windows implode from the inside out during Camille. You're better off if the glass is going to break to tape them well and have them break in one or two big pieces instead of a hundred little ones.
If the barometric pressure gets too low, the crack in the windows will do no good anyway...that is what happened during Camille.

Just talked with them and they are not budging. Said the storm is going to miss them. When I mentioned the North Port High School, she said, yeah and then mentioned a couple of other places. She said they also belong to the jockey club and that if they needed to get to shelter that the club would have called? I suggested that she call them and she said no that they already know that they don't need to evacualte.
*sigh*

If your wife is from Mass tell her that the aftermath of a hurricane is like the combined aftermath of a blizzard and an ice storm that takes out all the powerlines.
After Elena last year parts of Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas were without electricity for more than a week, a few almost two weeks. When the trees fall on the power lines, they have to cut down the trees, cut them up, and haul them away to get to you.

Look at TS # 4 path in Atlantic, is it the same as Bonnie and Charlie?

I forgot, she also said that none of the neighbors are doing anything nor evacuating.

Tell them to at least prepare to whatever extent they can - put some clothing into trash bags to keep it dry - run water into the bathtub - whatever they can do. They're going to be without power for days.

Tonight is our last night in a rental house on Grayton Beach, 10-15 miles east of Destin, halfway between Pensacola and Panama City. The water is smoother than it's been all week, like glass, but we have had storm after storm pass through here this week.
Trying to decide which way to drive home Saturday to Northern VA, I think I-95 is a bad idea. Thinking of going through Atlanta and then I-81.
