I am here in Brandon (just east of I-75 and south of i-4 for those of you not from here). It is cloudy and calm now. Charley may be making a slight turn to the northeast. I am in a relatively new house that was designed to withstand a hurricane. I did not get my windows boarded. Most of my neighbors did not board their windows either. It is a little scary. I have moved my grill etc out of the lanai and into the garage. I have plenty of food and water. Prayers for all of us in Tampa Bay are appreciated.
I went through HUGO my prayers are with you.
