I don't know if the winds are supposed to be east of us now or west of us now or right over us. 2 hours ago, we were supposed to get the brunt. An hour ago, my husband came in and said we were gonna miss it. I don't know what the margin of error is, but Charley is a pain in the BUTT.

By the way, I am in south Lakeland about 10 miles north of Bartow.

I heard that report on ABC 28 and I feel so sorry for those people. Dennis was practically pulling his hair out with Don Germaise in Punta Gorda, telling him to GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT.

The wind is definitely picking up, as is the rain. I imagine we are beginning to get whatever it is we are going to get.

Stay safe.....
