I'm on the east coast of Florida (Miami) So far all we have is a few clouds and some scatered rain. But there is a tropical storm warning on the area. I hope it doesnt get worst

I'm in Tampa Bay atm and it looks pretty nice out side actually

But that's going to change pretty soon(next 2-3 hours from what the news is saying).
Erk.

Took a look at this one on the tracking chart, ...she's lookin' rather large!

Keep your heads down you Floridadians, and stay safe.

(that means NO going outside for a look IP )

Thank you Valhalla.
Bonnie has long left Fla. It didnt affect much the west coast as it did Jacksonville.
It is 3:00 pm right now and aside from some gusty winds and a few clouds, there is not much going on on the Miami area.
Charlie is now a category 4 hurricane and heading up the coast of Tampa Bay which worries me a lot since my girl is in a hospital near the Tampa coast line.

Things are okay here at the moment! 'Course that big blow-hard Charley is just comin' on shore down by Port Charlotte....things may get pretty windy here afterwhile! (Like that doesn't ever happen around here- )


lovesblessing wonders if Mr. IPlural got all his hatches battened down and headed inland to avoid Charley and met him anyway????? Be Safe One & All!

Wouldn't happen to be TGH? If so, from what I understand the hospital was evacuated early thursday.

No she is at Suncoast. When I last spoke to my mother in law, the hospital was not evacuated. But it seems the hurricane has divert from the Tampa area, so Im more at ease. I just hope it doesnt hit in-land so hard.
Be safe all and take all the possible caution.

it hit about 65 miles south of us here in Tampa Bay, I live on the north side of the main entrence to the Bay.
we've dodged a monster which is great, but saying that it sucks to know that others got hammered by it.

Only death so far is some dumb fool who waited till the last minute and then decided to throw his family in their SUV and attempt to out run the storm. Winds blew the truck off the interstate and into a tree killing the youngest daughter, think she was 3 or 4, everyone else lived.... *sigh*...

If you want or need to stay then you stay, if not leave well in advance....
