The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Is Joe the only who may be in path of Hurricane

Charly turned south and hit Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte hard.

My step mother, who lives in Punta Gorda, went up a story or two to a friend's apartment to weather the storm last night. (They had shutters on their windows.) When she checked her apartment it did not seem too bad.

But the building's roof was torn off and water had worked its way down to the third floor. She had to evacuate her second floor apartment for fear that the ceiling would give way.

My brother in Gainesville had gotten all prepared and didn't get anything from Charly.
