I'm a Floridian and I'm scared.

I remember what Charlie did. How it swerved at the last second angled straight towards Punta Gorda and went from a minor storm to a big one.

I remember the eye. The terror of being in the hallway with mattresses bracing each side and thanking God we'd just gotten a new roof.

And that it zoomed across so quickly the projected storm surge didn't happen. We would have been on that brand new roof m

I remember everywhere around me being destroyed.

And this one is slower and more dangerous.

I'm frightened. I live in Tampa now. We're higher up. But I'm afraid.

My family lives in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Pierce, and Daytona Beach areas. All coastal low lying areas on the east coast of my beloved state.

And I'm scared and I want to hide under the bed until it's over.

I'll keep you and your family in my mind.

Thanks.

Hopefully the projected path where the eye doesn't make land fall is the one that happens. It's probably my state's best chance.

But the more likely one is the one where it slams into Miami.

Hopefully it weakens in Cuba's mountains and doesn't strengthen in the Florida straights.

Please be safe, hon.
And my thoughts and prayers for everyone in the path of the storm. ♥

It's shifted more towards the Tampa region than I would like but so far it thankfully looks like we won't get the eye.
