He's Here!!

According to the Weather channel Charley is 10 mins away from showing me his eye. I couldn't figure out why I have power until I realized everything is underground here. Yipee!! So, I'll take what I can get.

The wind is terrible. I can't see beyond my sliding glass doors, and I really don't want to get to close to them right now.

I was doing alright until my friend called earlier today crying that I was right in the path. OK - now I panic.

I've been pacing like crazy and can't seem to sit still. The alarms on the tv are going off every 3 mins.

My corp. husband called to check on me. He lives in Lakeland, which only got a sideswipe. His neighbor's house got wiped out by a tree.

So far, my family is all safe. I had time to call everyone before things hit here.

Anyway - I just wanted to let you know I'm here. So is Charley. I don't like him. He can leave any time now as far as I'm concerned.

It's going to be over before you know it. Hang in there. Did I tell you that when you have storm shutters up its really creepy? You can't see out and you feel like you're living in a big tin can! It is kind of a suffocating feeling. I evidently could never have been a submariner.

And, Tammi, stay away from the windows and sliders honey! :) -D.

maybe it's time to start blogging from underneath a table? Just make sure you have a plastic bag handy to put your laptop in! Hope you and yours are all alright through this all.
