Thanks tutstar. I am not on the coast but north of Orlando and Charlie scared us big time here. It was a matter of listening to Orlando getting winds over 100 and counting down the time till it got to us. We were in the hallway with pillows over our heads running out into the living room to see the broadcasts. WFTV's Tom Terry did a GREAT job forecasting Charlie's turn in advance of a lot of people. I will go to my sister's home since I live in a mobile home but she has a lot of big trees there. Besides..she has great neighbors who cook hotdogs and coffee on the grill during hurricanes. hehehe.
I'm in NE FL. We always seem to dodge the worst of it. We did have tornadoes from Bonnie, and some minor damage from Charlie and I can't remember the other storms. We lost power and had tree damage from them but nothing really major.
One thing I know, You can't trust a hurricane! 8^)
