So I'm right in the middle of the forecasted path of hurricane Charley here in Sanibel Island. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
I will probably not be online for a couple of days for anyone who is looking for mod updates, shipping status, etc. The City of Sanibel has ordered mandatory evacuations starting at 7 AM tomorrow. I will probably stick it out unless the forecast deteriorates further though.
Right now Charley is expected to be here late in the AM on Friday as a Cat. 1 or Cat. 2 storm with winds of 85-100+ MPH. This area hasn't seen a Cat. 2 in 40 years. This is not a "monster" storm, but the storm surge could be a big problem. We could see an 8-10ft. surge on an island that is 3ft. above sea level, and the surge is due at high tide, which is the worst possible scenario.
Lots of preparation to do tomorrow... Be back as soon as possible, but it might be a while. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif
