Today we checked for plywood at Home Depot, Lowes, Crowder, and Island Hardware. No plywood anywhere. All expecting shipments but none to be had as of this afternoon.

Tension in my household is getting unbearable. I want to head out for Tennessee. I'm so very tired of these 'Canes. My husband is stomping around grumbling about all the work in battening down and running. He wants to stay.

For Charley we compromised. We ran to Arcadia and we all know the rest of that story. I'm still eating crow for taking us into the eye.

Confused now. Do I stand my ground and insist on TN and then eat crow if it's sunny here as it was during Charley or do I give in and watch Ivan advance?

We are on Palma Sola Bay, Evac level B, at 3ft above msl. but we have concrete stucco two story house. I just don't know what to do. But Charley was so terrifying I can't possibly imagine doing another Cat 4.
