Here in north FL we've got a witches brew on the pot. Moisture left from Bonnie, the cold front that's going to turn Charley, and Charley himself passing directly over us is going to make for a hell of a day. Large thunderstorms building just to my west, tornado warnings, flood warnings, ect. Rain for us could be all the way through Sat morn/ aft.

That's a lot of rain. Over 10 inched IMO. Wow.

Models tended to the east this morning, NHC staying over a little more to west, but the difference may not mean much at this point. We in Florida are all within 24 hours of him now. Called work, place is a madhouse, just begining. N FL people do everything at the last minute

Last note: unlike early this morning, Charley has become very well rounded in his shape. It looked for a while that once he got past you, it would be over pretty soon. It's going to take a little longer now, so if he passes over you, stay hunkered down for awhile and don't rush to get outside. Be Safe. For those on the east coast beware of any rainbands coming off of the Atlantic. They can pull moisture and heat from the water and take on a life of their own. Ask anybody in Miami last night. SW-CEN-NE FL people: be and stay cool, we will see you on the back side of Charley.
