Hurricane Charley

Re: Hurricane Charley

I hear you, Tom. The problem was that the NWS goes with periodic checks of winds and direction and when it that close to land, they need much more frequent checks. I was holding off to bail until it hit Tampa (sorry, Michael) because then I knew the probability of hitting here was much higher than the 50% we had all day.

Of course, no one in Florida is ever safe from a hurricane until it has moved way, way past them. Once they go to the Carolinas, Georgia, or Louisiana, we can consider ourselves safe. Until then, none of us are.

The price of living in paradise.

Re: Hurricane Charley

Guys,
I live in Sanford, Fl. which is about 18 miles north of Orlando. Hurricane Charley came right over us with 100 MPH winds. We were lucky, we were without power for only 3 hours. Had alot of trees down but no damage to our house or cars. My rental house is still without power, 2 car carport is gone. A tree fell over the power line and pulled the electrical meter box off of the house.Lots of tres down. No telling when we will get power back at that house.
MY 65 vette came through with no problem.

Regards,
Floyd
