RE: Go Away Frances!
All I can say is...here comes Ivan! Two's company....three's a crowd! I live in Land O Lakes, FL, but stayed with my fiance' in Lakeland and we got gusts of between 80-90. Frances was a rainstorm compared to Charley. I flew down to Punta Gorda to do some sight seeing about 4 days after the storm, and it was a wreck down there. PGD was really screwed up, airplanes all over the place, in ditches and laying in taxi ways. The damage was everywhere downthere. Frances, knocked down a few trees and screwed up some trailors, but she was a gentle giant compared to Charley.
We'll see what Ivan has in store!
