Reason, as always has good advice. Go to AL. You can always find a campsite...that would take care of the issue of full motels and the dogs. Worse case, sleep in your car. At least you will be out of harms way.
These 2 hurricanes have convinced me to never move to FL. It is great to visit, but I don't want to live there. It aint a place for the faint of heart! Hold on tightly, GL!
Will say a prayer for you my friend. Hope all goes well.

His company told him to come back. Otherwise he may have been stranded here. So many people are fleeing the state and the Orlando airport is closing (if it isn't closed already) Tampa International is being flooded by people trying to get flights.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">How about you? I'm assuming you've once again found another place to stay, and are not staying in your trailer.Quote:

Jumper and I had planned on lunch and then dinner and go to the beach this evening. He was still at the airport at 10am this morning waiting for the last available seat he was supposed to be on at 9:30. I hope he has a safe flight back.
I have never stayed in a trailer.
But I'm not going anywhere for this one.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It would seem this is more dangerous, significantly larger than Charley, so why take the chance? I encourage you to take shelter elsewhere. I don't care that it's probably entering the east coast of Florida.Quote:

A trailer is no place to be in this storm, and I say that seriously.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thank you. Looks like heavy rains and moderate winds for my immediate area on Sunday, but otherwise nothing too serious.Quote:

I'll go out on a limb here and make a prediction: I think once this storm hits the Gulf Stream it is going to get pushed further north and make landfall closer to northern Florida/southeast Georgia and then head up into Georgia, losing strength ofcouse the longer it is away from water.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not a chance. There is an upper lever high preasure ridge that will keep it moving in a west north west path until it gets into the Gulf, then it will gather streangth again and hit the western Florida Panhandle and the Alabama coast.Quote:
