Hello Everyone,

I am reporting from the Wekiva sub-division of Southwest Seminole county. The winds are howling. I cannot believe we still have power, but we never lost power through Charley or Frances either. All of the power cables are buried in this division. We are on the more outer of the bands and when the cells come, they rip through the area. I al completely boarded up and I feel a lot more comfortable with that.

I am concerned with the numerous mobile home parks along the I4 corridor from Orlando to Tampa. My mother is one of them in Plant City, FL. She is in a shelter but I am afraid there will be no house for her to go back to after this is all over. I can only imagine the wind and rain closer to the eye. It's bad here, it must be worse south of here.

God Bless and everyone do not get brave and venture out to early.
