I do send prayers for all in the path of Charlie.

On a lighter note, I leave in about two hours to spend the next week visiting what's left of Walt Disney World.

I have no personal fears, we are overnighting in Atlanta, so all we'll see of Charlie is in South GA on Sat afternoon.

In true FR tradition, I'm now going to take a shower.

Really...

repost,

This is starting to look very bad to tampa(sp) area, worst case for them. Strom is going to puch a lot of water ahead of it, filling up the bays before it even gets there, then comes a big storm surge. I don;t think the west coast of Fla has had a big hurincane in many many years. Who knows how well the new towns a villages have been built? How well the drains and creeks will handle the huge flood waters.

Hmmmm, hopely this huricane is not as strong as claimed, but if it goes ashore at 120+ near tampa, it will not be pretty.

Stong side of storm pushing water all along the coast will make it bad for what even part of the coast the huricane decides to make land fall at.

Very bad news for fla.

Mayor of Jax on WOKV talking about bridges now. Earlier in the update they said that JSO wold have units at each bridge as of five o'clock, and that they would make decisions on site. So, no bridge closures at 4pm--sorry, my source was not reliable.

Good news, 4AM as the eye hits, is low tide.
