This sounds promising.
As we head closer to dinner time, Charley will be approaching the southwest Florida coast with winds forecast to be near 120 mph which would make Charley a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. The brunt of the storm is still forecast to be between the cities of Tampa and Ft. Myers although latest indications pinpoint landfall just south of Tampa closer to the Sarasota and Venice areas. Charley will definitely have a large (possibly deadly) storm surge factor, dangerous winds, and more heavy tropical rains.
Just in case you didn’t know… I live exactly inbetween Sarasota and Venice. 😀
Be careful bud. Severe weather is nothing to be horsing around with.
All preparations have been made. Don’t worry, I’m not planning on doing any “surfing” or anything.
