I wasn't trying to downplay what is about to happen becuase I have friends throughout southwest Florida and in Palm Beach and Martin Counties (I lived in Jupiter and North Palm Beach), and yes it is a big storm. I guess all I was saying is that it would be even more terrible if the eye followed Charley's footsteps through Punta Gorda, Lake Wales, Orlando and Daytona. There are still way too many temporary trailers with displaced residents from that storm.

Quote: Its current path appears to take it through Big Cypress Preserve, across below Belle Glade, and then north of Jupiter (over Johnathon Dickinson State Park); so it appears to be about the best case scenario because those areas all the way through the state are fairly unpopulated...except by alligators, turtles and fishhawks (and a lot of sugar cane).
If you look at the Visible Floater Loop with the TPC Forcast Points layer on, it appears that she is running just a tad north of the forcast track. If that continued it would still be close to the current TPC track but maybe slightly north of it (which I guess would be a little closer to Naples...lets hope not). Hopefully it will stay on its current path.
Please realize that this is a 200 mile wide storm. To say it will pass over unpopulated areas might give some people the wrong impression. This is a dangerous storm and no one should take it lightly.
