Hurricane Charley, dead on right now, though they still aren't sure if it's going to veer off or not. I'm in an evacuation zone, so I have to be out of my place before 6pm. Boat is tied off, various potential missles (including a 16' canoe) are now sitting in my bedroom. I have to pick up some computer/work equipment and put it in my laundry room (only room with no windows). Then, I go inland for the next 24 hours or so and wait it out.

Mostly, it's precautionary. This could be a direct hit, or a far miss, but even if it's bang on I've been through worse (Andrew, in '92, when I lived in South Florida). In fact, Charley will be my sixth named storm. I'm expecting this will be a nuisance (can you say Friday the 13th?) but my only worry is my boat, not my house. Got the boat fully insured yesterday, though (heh), so if it happens, it happens.

If there are power failures and such, I'll be offline for a while. Stay good, everyone ;)
