Governor Jeb Bush has declared a state of emergency ahead of Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley bearing down on Florida.

Tracks it may take (Charley will go RIGHT Over us)

If Charley becomes anything above a Catagory 2, we're gonna have some MAJOR problems guy. We are only 50 miles from the coast, and in the past *before I lived here* hurricanes that swoop over like this pummel central florida even deep into Orlando.


-----------------

We rarely have Hurricanes come at us here in Lakeland Florida, but looking at these TWO Hurricanes, they both look to hit us or skirt us. SO... If we are down Friday Night through Monday morning or something, you know I took the server down because of weather OR we lost power. The radar URL's above are for our area (See LAKELAND) on the radar.

I'll update you on this as I get news. Here is EXACTLY where we are in the lakeland Radar:

Wow Z you just make sure that you get somewhere safe if it even get remotly close to you.

Stay Safe Bro!

They just updated the path of it, and it wont go right over our area--it'll go west by 30 miles, but will STILL give us 40-70mph winds

Those winds are bad enough! Take care, Dan! Batten down the hatches! :D

Bonnie is supposed to affect our area even way up here in Georgia,Z.you take care and head up this way if you have to.The door to the house is
open for ya.

Thanks guys! Yeah, the track was updated a bit and now is a tiny bit more west, so I think it'll be better.. (for us) not for others. :( Hope it dies SOON. This could be a really nasty storm.
