It sure is but what can law enforcement do?
Well, the law says they *can* arrest him and then the children could be put into protective custody. They usually don't, but the law says if it is evacuation from a MANDETORY evacuation area, the cop *can* arrest the person violating the law. No, I'm not a lawyer, but the local sheriff was on TV last night talking about just that subject when asked by a reporter after hearing the evacuation areas.
Question: I keep hearing that the nebulous 'someone' is now forecasting landfall as far south as Venice? That would imply they expect the track to go East of Tampa, perhaps even East of Lakeland as it moves NNE? I haven't seen anything official anywhere, Do you know who the 'someone' is? The answer to 'is it true?' would certainly change my plans here in Orlando from "I've packed the car with my valuables" to "Drive the car to your friend who lives in a sturdy home rather than my mobile home".

Yep, the news here in Naples finally mentioned the NE movement. They didnt make it official and made sure to say that theyre not forcasting it to hit south of Tampa, but they seem to be worried about it

I totally agree. I'm set here and we should be ok, but with this turn looking like it's starting and with all of the attention on Tampa people are not boarding up around here. I'm guessing right now it may hit somewhere between Naples and Sarasota if this turn holds, and most of these people are not ready.

I'm shocked that the live tampa tv feed still works after being posted everywhere. Does anyone know of any more radio station or tv links ?
Please be safe .

This storm will affect a huge area and you should not just focus on where the eye comes ashore.

Just a quick question to anybody who can answer it - what's the difference between base and composite reflectivity on radars; which one's more reliable, etc...

Charley is still moving generally north, perhaps very slightly east of north. Remember that just as easily as this storm has wobbled east, it can wobble west. My prediction is that will move onshore in Sarasota. I definitely see nothing at upper levels that will force sharply to the east, so I believe Naples should avoid a direct hit, in my opinion. But the will probably adjust the track a little south.

Rain from other causes than himself have started in Jacksonville. Something to soften us up for him, I guess. Thunder and lightning is getting to the point of a constant drone, and getting very close. What a great start to the day. It's off to work at noon for me until tonight, when will race me back to my house. Hope I win.......

I understand that hardcore, this is a very small hurricane as far as wind and eye diameter 30 miles is not much for hurricane force winds , out to 125m is sustained 75mph winds with gusts, that is a little easier to handle then 120 mph winds , wherever it makes land fall the 30 mile swath will be devasted , And it is building .

Its dead quiet here in Maitland, 3 miles North of Orlando. No wind at all, just dead silent. Now I know what they mean by the calm before the storm, its very errie.

Hey all I'm in downtown Orlando right now and very busy. Haven't had time to check the site since I've been here. Thanks to the rest for keeping it going. And good luck all here. Watching intently, best I can say now is start using local media to get info updates, because at this point other than some stats, we won't be able to tell you much more. Feel free to ask questions and hopefully someone monitoring it. In the last two days this site has had more hits and requests than the entirety of last year combined.
So apologies for the slowness related to massive traffic.

The sun is shining. PArtly cloudy beautiful summer day in Polk. It is hard to believe a hurricane let alone a Cat 2+ could be headed our way. Intellect has overriden emotions and we are as prepared as we know how to be. We are inland and our greatest threat is wind and water(right now), Later on it will be varmints both 2 legged and 4 legged I am afraid.
