Thar he blows

Okay, this is just freaky.

We are all obsessively tracking Hurricane Charley, which is now a category 4 hurricane--winds up to 145mph---and twice as strong as originally forecast. Articles from this afternoon describe the kind of effects that places on the west coast, especially Tampa, may expect to experience. Want to see what he looks like? check the map from weather.com.

So far things here in Broward haven't been too bad. We had a heavy rainfall in the middle of the night last night, and things were sunny and calm this morning. However, the wind's been picking up dramatically for the past couple of hours and we expect more stormy weather to come. We are also under tropical storm, flood, and tornado watches until sometime this evening. Naturally, I have to be out tonight...hopefully I won't end up driving to my bellydance gig in the middle of pouring rain.
