Re: Flights

I did not see the new thread. Wanted to slap this on here as well.

The reporter for NBC2 in Fort Myers was in Port Charlotte
and wasn't expecting much at first, but then when it made
that move a little more north he is now getting a direct hit. He
said Charley, which is moving right up Charlotte Harbor, is
completely destroying Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda. He
said the water level is down 4 to 5 feet being just sucked out
of the Harbor. God help him when he gets the back end.

The guy's name Todd and he is in the eye right now reporting
live from the eye of a Category 4 hurricane. Amazing.

BTW, get ready to do this all again, the system east of the
islands is going to be TD5 at 5PM, and the GFDL has a 95KT
hurricane south of Cuba in a couple of days.
