>>> How sure is everyone Charley is staying south of Tampa?
First off, I don't think anyone can make that call yet, and regardless where Charley makes landfall, Tampa is surely in for a very potent storm. If you live "on the bay" I'd be packing up my supply kit and preparing to move WAY inland. Do not wait, unless you have a house/dwelling you need to shore up. I wouldn't tempt fate with this one.
