ice'cold, go to weather.com and key in the zip code for the hotel. It will give you the projected forcast.
I did receive a call from a winterhaven pokemon player. the eye passed over winterhaven. they had to hide in a closet as the walls seemed as if they were shaking. The house is cb not wood frame. one window busted. privacy fence gone, roof shingles gone. metal bits blown into the air conditioner and not electric since 5:00 but everyone is safe at her house. We are now starting to get the bad stuff as the bad right quad will nail us. the lights are starting to flicker and the wind is a steady 50 gusting up much higher. The door go my screen porch has been pried loose, so I expect to see that go anytime now. Keep us in your prayers this is going to be a loooooooooong night.

metal master, Hurricane season starts june 1 and ends November 30. The main season is August to October.
So June, July and November are a pretty safe bet, but you never know with nature.
We are very calm here now waiting for the bands from the backside to come around.
No reports of loss of life yet so that is a VERY GOOD THING buildings and be rebuilt and possessions can be replaced.

I was joking. Now I know it's obvious so don't post on this.

According to Fox News Net., bodies were stacked on top of each other in a mobile home park in Punta Gorda. No number yet, as police are having tough time getting through due to debris. My(our) thoughts go out to anybody majorly affected by this Natural Disaster.
They said that the National Guard was guarding the bodies.EnjoiPandaPoo

OK, Since 10pm last night I didn't have electricity. I just got it back like an hour ago. The storm wasnt too bad here since the land weakened it, but they were talking about not having electricity for awhile (2-7 days) in the Orlando area.

We are in Englewood, 16 miles from Punta Gorda - it's bad, very very bad. Port Charlotte has been flattened. We were very lucky, for about 10 minutes we thought it was coming right at us. Very scary.
We are in a period of grieving right now, it's very difficult.

Everything should be getting back to normal by then. We called the hotel and everything is fine there. Just some minor tree damage. All of the parks except Animal Kingdom and a couple of water parks reopened today. The Airport was shutdown this morning but planes are coming and going now.

So far, it looks like it will veer off in the Atlantic and not come that close to the States.
Sigh, its been a rough couple of days for everyone. I myself live on one of the barrier islands that Charley hit for a bit then started to head north. Because of this I am now stranded from my home, have no idea if it is even there any more, and have no idea when we will be able when we will be able to return. I guess that is what a 10-15 ft storm surge would do to a small island. Our first evacuation stop landed us in a hotel in Naples where we stayed until the point where we couldn't stand it any more, due to the fact there was no power at all and the heat and humidity was horrible. We then moved to Tampa where I am now in a Hotel room awaiting the time to when my grandmother has to have cancer surgery which could be a matter of life or death. All awhile I am waiting to hear if we still have a home.
But I am still more fortunate then the ones who have lost their lives in this hurricane. My prayers and sympathies go out to those people.

Dont be so sure, this is a quote directly from the weather channel website.
"In the central and eastern Atlantic, there are now 2 more Tropical Storms to watch. Tropical Storm Danielle and Tropical Storm Earl. They both have the potential for further development as the 2004 hurricane season moves into high gear. Tropical Storm Earl is of the greatest concern as it is forecast to approach the Lesser Antilles by Sunday and tropical storm warnings have been issued for St. Lucia, St. Vicent and Barbados. This system will then strengthen quickly into a hurricane well south of Puerto Rico and will need to be monitored closely by all in the Caribbean, especially Jamaica and western Cuba again. Tropical Storm Danielle is still far out in the eastern Atlantic southwest of the Cape Verde Islands and is forecast to also become a hurricane. We'll have plenty of time to monitor its progression."
Everyone was saying Charley was going to be a weak hurricane, before it became a catagory 4. with hurricanes you never know.

I went down to Southern Florida a week later as part of a large communicy/Church clean up.....
It was devastating.......We helped several families clean up .................
