a radar system called VIPIR

WFLA ch8 in Tampa uses it; Steve Jerve and VIPIR called Charlie's jog into Punta Gorda last year. They haven't been nearly as close since.

That's what I was watching. I didn't see them call Charley - I was all the way up in DeLand working then, and was still expecting it to pass west of Tampa. I was on my way back home (eastern Polk), somewhere up in Lake County (avoiding the I-4 parking lot), when it made that jog. I just barely made it home in time to throw a bunch of stuff into the back of my truck, gather up my critters (except for the cat - she went under the bed and I could not get her out) and bug out to my grandmother's house to ride it out.
