Anyone else getting ready for the Hurricane Charley?
Edited on Wed Aug-11-04 06:25 PM by freetobegay
I live in Fort Myers, Florida (we right now seem to be right in the middle of the path), I still say this is God's way of saying Porter Goss is not the man! (His property is in harms way also!)

So georgie boy, did God tell you something, he's not telling us?

2. Got my fingers crossed for you

9. I live in Lakeland. Projection shows it going right over us
late Friday night. Maybe after it comes ashore it will lose some intensity. I feel sorry for folks living in low-lying areas.

11. Yep, we have been making preparations all day! I Will be on call
for disaster relief for the duration. Lets hope its just a bad imitation of George Bush blowing into the state for one of his photo ops. You know, lots of wind and spit but little substance!
