Recmod,

Those photos were awesome. Hitting some bloody marys tonight (added celery salt, worcestershire, pepper, lemmon, lime, olives, pickled beans) while enjoying some hurricane snippits and the Saints victory.

I can't wait to see all the damage photos on the web and tv tomorrow after some of the camera crews can get to some of the isolated spots. I heard some prelmiinary reports on abc-7.com (Port Charlotte during the eye) of 15 billion +. That would put Charley in the top few of all times. However, as OrlandoWaiting said, it could have been MUCH worse had the eye come ashore a little farther north.

alan,

How'd your friend fare? Hopefully he's okay.
