Hey mom Fischer, welcome to the site. I've been on 4 or 5 years. It's always great. Hard to say what's going to happen in Cocoa until we know where Charley is making landfall. If nothing else, you should see some strong squalls and feeder bands (watch out for tornados).

Here's an interesting note from Derek Ortt of the U of M RAMSIS. He thinks there is an error in the 11am public advisory. He believes that the TPC purposely failed to upgrade Charley as per ACTUAL OBSERVED RECON information. His words (paraquoted) were, 'make no mistake about it. We're dealing with a category 3." Perhaps the next discussion will address the inconsistency.
