Hurricane Charlie is now a Category 4 storm. For you non-Hurricane people, Hurricane Andrew that devastated Miami, was a Category 4 when it hit land. Landfall is at Port Charlotte in about 7 minutes (2:15pm EST). Port Charlotte is landfall heading straight to Tampa, Florida. (My folks live down there ā˜¹ ) If you are evacuating do so now, and be safe. Dial " \*FHP " if you get in trouble, our infrastructure is in place and standing by. Be safe. ---

yes lots of damage tho - some like 2-3 million people evacated and over 1 million without power - a few houses leveled and such - talked with my folks and they said of course ā€œweā€™ve had worse thunderstorms.ā€ LOL - spoken like a floridianā€¦ but still scary and nerve wracking. now its headed to the atlantic where they think it might pick up a little steam. ---

Yeah, my house is in its pathā€¦Iā€™m on vacation at my grannyā€™s in TN, but I live on a 26 acre farm. 2 houses, the one being a ranch from the late '70s, the other built circa 1849. Weā€™re trying to restore it back to itā€™s original state, but the shape itā€™s in now, my families worried somethings going to happen to it.
