OMG, My sister is on her way home from work right now. I hope she doesn't get caught in this tornado. She works at Universal Studios.

You can view the radars on line. I am sure your sister will be fine. Orlando will get something later and the good news is that is will be manageable...relatively speaking of course. I think they are saying 75mph in Orlando by the time it gets there.

Don't freak out reading some of the stuff on the list. Whenever a storm hits, some of us get "carried away" with adrenalin but look look at the data.

Looks like a Sanibel Island Landfall [Re: FL Panhandle]
      #19958 - Fri Aug 13 2004 02:39 PM

Radar

Looks like Charley's going to landfall just north of Ft. Myers. I'd estimate that would be approximately one hour from now.

Godspeed to anyone in Charley's path.

Actually, the forecast has the storm just south-southwest of Orlando with winds of 115 mph.

We're about to get hammered in Apopka.

Not encouraging, considering I live in SW Orlando.

Just went through another strong rain shower. No lightning, but lots of rain. We're also under another tornado warning until 3:45pm.

Watching Channel 28, ABC in Tampa, the meteorologist was announcing the tornado warning for Lake Placid and mentioned the Bob Sheets, former Director of the National Hurricane Center lives in Lake Placid. I didn't know that. Cool!

Wind and rain have died down again .... for now.

Saw that. looks like we will have a CAT 5 at landfall. WOW. That is explosive strengthening. Ft. Myers is going to be destroyed. Hope everyone stays safe. I'm afraid this could be catastrophic. Remeber Joe Bastardi's theory on hurricanes that are strengthening at landfall versus those weakening. He says they are much more powerful. Needless to say, this name will never be used again. Charley is retired.

Charley continues to strengthen & changes direction [Re: hurricane_run]
      #19967 - Fri Aug 13 2004 03:31 PM

There's probably so much traffic, the site has gone down again. It was down this morning and it may go down again.

Scary stuff happening. Charley's not behaving again, just took a north turn, maybe even north-north-west. This is not good, skirting the coast like he is. Heading more towards Tampa.

If you're anywhere near 100 miles from the eye, be prepared. He's definitely changing course.

Working on trying to keep this site up. Was behind Universal (near Dr. Phillps High School) when I heard Cat IV, at that point I stopped all Orlando activity and am now back in NSB. I4 was crazy, saw accident near Lee road on way back too.

Re: Fort Myers [Re: LI Phil]
      #19970 - Fri Aug 13 2004 03:39 PM

Hi all, been lurking, just wanted to report that I have a co-worker who's sister is living in Fort Myers. She spoke to her at about 2Pm central time on the cell phone and they say it is bad but manageable...they are able to sleep. I guess that means that the worst is offshore.

Also, she said all their neighbors are notherners who have never ridden a storm out before, so there are lots of freaked out people in Fort Myers today. Will post again if we hear more from there.

Radar seems to show the eye moving onshore. Seems to be moving more NNE now that it's grabbed the coast. Looks like a line close to Orlando.

watching, fascinating...

dont want to hear too much complaining, anyone south of tampa in a line from tampa to key west should have been prepared

mayfield said over and over that it could come in to the right or the left

and think the media is more to blame than anyone as they want to all stake out one particular harbor

NHC Updates? [Re: StormHound]
      #19974 - Fri Aug 13 2004 04:01 PM

Where are the NHC updates? Still posting the 2:00 stuff on their site.

Also, looks like Charley is landfalling at Boca Grande or Cayo Costa.

Anyone have any updates on wind speed?

I am watching on NBC2 also. My lord, the water is more than half way the first floor on Fort Myers Beach and now Charley is right on top of Bokeelia, FL. The sun should be shining there as the eye sits on top.
