Skeeter's track map needs a little work, especially the Charley track. Here's the NOAA track (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/tbw/information/charley/charleyframe.htm) Skeeto has it almost on Bartow which is funny since we went to get gas and supplies there the next day. The eye passed well east of Bartow, directly over Lake Buffum if you can find that. I trust the NOAA map because I live in that area and am still cutting wood from Charley. I was on my roof making quick repairs when the eye of Frances went over and we were out for about 2 hours when the eye of Jeanne passed over yesterday. That is in Babson Park which Skeeter's map shows to be pretty safe and sound from Charley. You all should have been here to see how safe it was on the north end of Crooked Lake up a clear slope, checking out the Bernoulli effect 3 miles from the eastern eyewall of Charley and being hit dead on by Frances and Charley. Hate to make a big deal out of it but the Weather Channel showed a bad map too, with Charley even west of Bartow, FL. I just don't want my 3 Purple Hearts to be classified as slivers. |
