Hurricane Charlie =(

[anna_66]

I've never been in a hurricane and I think I would be scared to death.
I'll be keeping you and all the others in my prayers. Check in often to let us know how your riding it out.

It's also supposed to be up to 105 mph by friday night! And a catagory 2. That's what sucks about being so close to the ocean -- you most will most likely see plenty of hurricanes in your days. We have started to stock up just in case it doesn't decide to change path's and keep the path the forcaster's intended. Ahhhh, all i can hope is the power isn't out and it's not *too* bad!

I HATE this time of year because of this. And, because I'm considered emergency personnell, I can't even stay home and hide from it. I just hope I don't get stuck at work. I'm off the next two days but have to work Saturday. Good Kay and Amber. At least I'm halfway inland.

Please stay safe, all of you in Florida. I don't blame you for being worried Kay. I would be scared to death! Stay safe and keep us informed.

This is the one thing I really hate about living in Florida. I'm thankfully I live in the middle of the state at least, it usually slows down some by the time it gets my way. But you can never trust them or where or what they will do, so be pepaired.

I know one year, the news said the hurricane had changed course and was going into the gulf. So we when ahead with our plans to go down the peace river, camping. As we are flotting down the river in the middle of no where, the radio says it's didn't move and it was coming our way. No time to paddle back to the cars, so we pulled up as high as we could onto dry land, set up camp and sat through the hurricane in the woods. The next morning, the boats, that where on dry land, where now in the river and we where camped in water.

After that, I don't count on anything they say 100%, I make sure I'm ready for anything. I'm sure that the power will go out, ours goes out for everything, thats the only thing I can count on.

I just worry more about the pets right now more then anything. It's not like we can move chickens, ducks, the goose, goats etc in the house with us. So fingers crossed it's not that bad.

Try to fine the bright side of everything...........Mmmm???..... At least it's not a catagory 5. Just stay inside, hug you pups, and try not to worry to much, it will be over shortly and hopefully the worce you'll have to put up with is picking up branches in your yard.

My neighbor, who works for a local news station, said that the hurricane is supposed to go south of us. She also said that the storm surge is going the other way, as in pushing the water out so the water won't come in.


I'm still very worried.

[Fox-Gal]

Kay is this your first hurricane? Just wondering.

Please try not to worry to much and 2 isn't that bad, it's not good, but not bad. The most people that have to worry, is those on the water and if what you say is true then that will help them alot. It's the storm surge that cause alot of the damage and if you live in a strong house you can fell a little safer. Just don't go hanging out side or at the window.

I've been through 4 from a 1 to a 4 and even camped through one. LOL You'll be ok, if you perpaired right. If there damage or water that comes into you home etc. it can all be repaired. No biggie in the long run.

I've never been IN an actual hurricane but lots have come close. I always worry. I could careless if it takes our house, damages it, what not.. I just don't want my family, friends, and especially my dogs to get hurt.


I've lived in Florida my whole life so i've definetly seeen my share of bad storms.

I heard about this on the radio tonight on my way home from work. All they said was that one was to hit the Florida Panhandle and other one will hit the Florida Keys. Please be safe people and check in so we know you are OK.

We getting the rain from the first one this morning. Thankfully, by the time it gets to where we live, it is usually heavy rain, and sometimes flooding. Sounds like what Floridians are going to have to deal with, with both storms, is the same thing, just a heavier dose than what we will get.

Take care, everyone, and hopefully it will all go ok. We lived through Hugo in 1989. I thought our house was going to blow off it's foundation. My hometown had horrible damage from that one, and they live about 2 hours inland. It was a much higher catagory hurricane than either of the ones out there now, though.

Bonnie is supposed to make landfall this afternoon and Charley later this weekend. Everyone in FL, be safe!! I'm thinking of you all.

*HUGS*

[prechrswife]

Stay safe, everyone in Florida. We are in south Georgia, and it looks like we'll be getting the leftovers of Bonnie and Charley. Fortunately, we're far enough inland that we should just have some nasty weather.

[CatMama78]

Oh gosh. How scary. Be Safe!!!!

I used to live in New Orleans and we had a couple of scares but nothing too bad ever hit.

[Amber]

Be safe you guys!

[Katiesmom]

Keep safe!

I was in a Hurricane one time and that is when Hurricane Hugo came through North Carolina and that was sooo scary but at the same time exciting...but you guys will definitly be in my prayers
