Two years ago we had a tropical storm of 74mph (1 more and it would have been a hurricane) and we lost power for 3 days"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

Then I remember our infamous "Green Storm" of 1980;
145 mph winds at the Metro Airport tower (blew out its windows & had to be evacuated), no electricity for >2 weeks & a major damage area 30 miles wide....not to mention that creepy green sky and a few scattered twisters.
Pretty wild even for the fringes of tornado alley

11pm this evening (almost two hours ago) the latest predictions weren't changed. At this time we expect the storm to peak around 6-7pm EDT Friday with Charlie traveling right at us. Sustained winds of 120mph and ~8-12" inches of rain. In the area 900,000 are under manditory evacuation. We're ~1 mile inland of this region. Since midnight the islands (Keys) have been closed, you can leave but not return.
It's a warm humid night, <5mph winds with few clouds, just like the calm before the storm. Erie quiet."Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss
