Re: [RC] We survived Hurricane Charley
The 40 miles from
me to you makes a big difference. I had one or two little showers and a period
of about 20 minutes of 20 or so mph winds. The weather has been worse today
than yesterday. I want to ride this morning but got rained out.
The
actual error in the forecast was actually small. If it had been coming
straight on perpendicular to the coast it would have been no more than 20
miles or so. But coming almost parallel to the coast the small turn to the
right ended up being about 150 miles.
The storm did make us clean up a
lot of things that needed to be cleaned up.
We are back and
are cleaning up. Right now we are getting the rogue storms that come
from a hurricane but I rather have a big mess than no house. My son
who is in Afganistan learned of a direct hit to Tampa, he emailed me several
times and was very worried........ I thought it was cute, he is in
Afganistan and he is worried about me. Emailed him back and told him
everyone is ok.
I spoke to
Debbie Parsons last night and this morning. She is fine and all
animals are doing well. Her house is somewhat of a disaster inside due
to move things around for protection. She even cleaned out her laundry
room, washer, dryer and all to keep her young baby and mom in it. Last
heard Debbie was gonna get hit hard after the turn but then I think she
caught the outer walls. We just got rain and normal wind problems and
I suppose Truman got the same. As for my brother and his family, he
has a house on clearwater beach and evacuated to Lakeland to get out of the
hurricane, they were all ready prepared to loose everything. Little
did he know they headed right into the path of the hurricane. The bad
part most people that evacuated went to where the hurricane was.
Truman is right, this is my 2nd and you never move until you see what
happens over Cuba. Now we will be watching to see what the
Tropical Storm #5 is doing out there in the Atlantic.
I am happy to say we will see you all out on the trail again this
year.
Hey
Howard. Where are ya bud...........
