Good post Coleen, but perhaps Charley will NOT do as indicated, and will in fact veer a little more west. Then the implications are even more ominous. Throw thousands of people on the highways...and then if the hurricane shifts...then what?...recall them...or throw more out there..

It's an interesting twist, IF the hurricane stalls, or if it does NOT behave as forecast.

Not saying either way...just that at this point, NOTHING is written in stone....

The authorities are covering their bases and you know what!
What we do has NOTHING to do with what Charley does...we are only observers making intelligent and educated guesses....

just throwing that out there for something to think about.
