Charley is coming now (was Bonnie is onshore)

[Cyberious]

I'm just south of where the eye is supposed to pass (near Orlando) which means I'll get the worst part of the storm (the NW side) . Have water and food and will post once it passes. Will try and take some pictures and bring them to Shatnerball. Hope to see you all soon. For all of you who are in the path like me take care and God Bless!

Hang in there Cyber......

I'm in line right after you,try and take some of the sting out of that bad boy for us.

Good luck! Be safe.

I'm hoping it's gonna keep turning east and for the most part, miss us(Daytona), or follow the original path and go over us.

I just got done helping my mom pick up everything out by the pool so the wind dosn't throw it through our windows. And did some Duct Taping on the windows(I guess it's supposed to keep them from shattering, but seems more like a ploy to sell duct tape to me)..

If it moves anymore east, we will get hit with the whole storm. I already brought in everything I could, only thing left was a few plants in pots, but about 5 mintues ago fast gust of wind made them airbourne and flew them across my enclosure. Now tommorow, I have to clean that all up.

Form what I seen on the news, it's right over top of me right now. They were talking about all of the power outages, but ironically, my power went out right in the middle. Now it keeps going on and off and it's driving me nuts

[Cyberious]

The worst of it is gone and we are all OK. Me , my family, and X-Mag (Because Quality Can Handle Even A Hurricane) are doing well :-). We have no power but luckily I have a laptop and a T-Mobile Cellular wirelss aircard. Hope everyone else does as well. Take care. Have some short movies that I will try and post once we get back power.

Well as you know its now made landfall again in SC and when it did it was packing 85 mph sustained and gusts to 100 mph. It came in around McClelandville just North of Charleston and South of Myrtle Beach

My Family in Tampa got lucky. But the poor people in POrt Charlotte and Fort Myers area... well... its devastation down there.

Here are some pictures of it

Lets see some pictures of your area if you can do it safely.

I am sure there will be more pictures of some serious damage as they get further out onto some of the Barrier Islands to see what happened there. It will not be good on some of them.

So Charley heads into NC and then into Easter Virgina and still packs a wallop.



And onther Depression forms in same tracks as these down in the Caribbean.....



The one off the Cape Verdes, Danielle, looks at this early stage to be an Atlantic storm. staying over the waters. Its a Tropical Storm now

[WickeDKlowN]

We still don't have power or water since we have a well. Driving down the road, there's power lines down everywhere and a pole pig(trasnsformer) laying on the ground in peices in one spot. The Phones were out from 8PM last night to just ablot 20mins ago. I don't think we ave school tomorrow sonce alot of the county still dosn't have power, but that havn't decidd yet as far as I know.

Here in Eastern NC we got a pretty light hit. A huge tree limb fell on where my car would have been if i hadn't been at work and landed on the power line to my house causing sparks and surges for a while. Finally we totally lost power and me and a friend went about removing the limb from the line. But for the most part there wasn't any flooding in New Bern or the surrounding areas. Mostly just limbs down, no power lines or trees.

I guess we got lucky with this one as we only lost power for about 8 hours and all the surrounding cities got power back VERY quickly. Great effort by the local power company to have men ready and get things rolling quickly.

I feel bad for the rest of the towns who got hit hard down in FL and such.

[WickeDKlowN]

We still don't have power, but we're supposed to have it by midnight Thursday...

[cphilip]

Hang in there dude.

Good news is Earl has somewhat dissapated and looks good for Danielle to stay out to Sea.

How are you posting if you not got any power?

[-Tab]

hang in there guys......if that helps
