    WOW! thats all i have to say!

    i didnt read all this thread because im on 28k modem on a 133Mhz compter

    im in my grandmothers condo in florida! Bonita springs, right south of Ft. Meyers, worst part is were RIGHT on the gulf, the complex has a private beach

    Anyways thrusday morning my parents decided to flee, we drove straight across florida on 75 and got to Ft. lauderdale (my first time on the atlantic) we stayed there for a few days, and it was WINDY and the waves were incredible! the gulf waves on this beach are NOTHING, just kinda lull in, but those atlantic waves, with the storm, there were people surfing! over here on the gulf side, you can barely use a boogie board on a good day!

    Anywayys, we came back from lauderdale, and there was stuff EVERWHERE! trees, debris, a whole buncha roofs were on the front lawn as opposed to the top of the house... luckily NOTHING happended to my grandmas condo, worst part was, there was flooding on the first floor (were on lvl5) and the fence around the pool was laying flat...and the pool is full of sand, and blackish greenish sea water...and theres no grass or cememt...its ALL sand, so my dad is having fun in the parking lot with the rental car! DUNE BUGGY! (in a buick)

    Ohwell, its 1am, and my brother is on the couch complaining about the keyboards noise as i type, so im gonna get going, and i'll check this thread soon as i get back in cleveland, but wow, this was an interesting experiance, so much destruction, and panic! my mother is extremely paranoid as it is, so this made things bad

    ohwell, enough of my story, bottom line is, i was here, i witnessed the beginning, and the end, we were on the other side of the state during the actuall hurricane hitting land

    Als i gotta say is "BUAHAHHAH CHARLEY! YOU SUCK!"
