Hurricane Charley "Murphy"

Yesterday, at Noon, The Weather Channel was saying Gainesville was going to get hit directly, and be prepared. So my wife and I drove into town, stocked up on water and canned supplies, etc. Came home, and started taping our windows up, while my neighbors looks at us like we were on crack. After we finished taping up, saw The Weather Channel stating that we were not going to get hit at all. Felt stupid for the tape, and took it down. We had clear skies last night, not a drop of rain. Oh well. Ready for the next one I guess.

My wife's grandmother and great aunt "snowbird" in Cape Coral during the winter, and we are waiting to hear if their homes got messed up. Both are on the canals.

I know there are a lot of people on the forums down where Charley hit. Hope they are ok!
 
well Im okay. My work is destroyed, no roof every car on the lot ******. I dont know what I am going to do or te dealership is going to do. A lot of people I know dont have homes or power. Im lucky my celphone still works. Ive had countless people using it. I thank God that I have it as good as I do right now. Everything is intact. my house my car power water cable everything. I hope everyone else is okay.​
 
oh yeah. 20 minutes from me was creamed. My cars ok. I also wanted to thank everyone that called to make sure I was alright. My phone was working but not very good
 
Its nuts here , we have curfews and schools and stuff are closed till mid next week. No damage to my car or house but others were not so lucky.
