it's already hit port charlotte, and it's heading straight for orlando, but by that time it will be a category 3. i feel sorry for my cousin who lives in tampa, he was told to evacuate, and he went to take cover with his sister in orlando. i wish the best to them and to everyone else who is in the path of either of the hurricanes.

oh yeah, tytus, take pictures of you flying a kite, i wanna see what it looks like down there, it's looked great outside here until about 2 hours ago or so, but it feels like a sauna outside...

Well yall get snow up there, I lived in New Hampshire too, and I remember getting out late like that.

lol wow that sux....you don't actually listen to them when they tell you to evacuate. You don't trust weather people to predict the day to day weather do you? why listen to them about a hurricane....

Im praying for Florida and hoping that everyone's safe. Hopefully, it will turn into a minor weather disturbance which will only result in cancelling school. Meanwhile, up in Indiana, the weather is pretty cold. It is so cold, in fact, that it was warmer at the beginning of the year (January 1) than it is now.

Not to make too much light out of the situation, I think it was just pure coincidence and luck that they name a 'cane "Charley" after our 2004 robot.
Charlie (66's Robot) was a hurricane that took Curie (and almost Einstein) by storm. Thanks for pickin us for the "dream alliance".

Sorry for what I just said above, if anybody was offended. It just HAD to be said.

Re: Hurricane warnings
 
I just heard from other members of my family that my grandfather's house got clobbered in Cape Coral (Fort Myers). We know they are OK but they are without power and the house has suffered damage. The gutters and sections of the roof tiles are missing. The screened in pool enclosure has also been destroyed and pieces are in the canal behind and along side the house. Not just the screen but the actual aluminum frame. The extent of the damage isn't totally known yet as it's raining heavily and they haven't been outside for long to completely survey everything. Right now they're worrying about the damaged roof with the rain. :(

Re: Hurricane warnings
 
Well I'm finally back home. We in the bay area got REAL lucky, if it hit us that storm surge would have been way up in our house. Even tough we were missed, it just tore apart the areas it did hit, and from what I hear the storm may have reached minimal Cat. 5 status for a few minutes just as it hit, but was never officially upgraded. I have already heard of at least two deaths, hopefully thats all.

I would just like to wish the best to those who don't have power such as barry (the person who started this thread) whose cell phone is working cuz it ran out of battery and he doesn't have an electrical outlet to charge it again. but i hope every FIRSTer (and even all the non-FIRSTers) is okay and will be ready for a great season next year, not to mention the robot rodeo.

Charlie hit a lot harder than I thought it would, wow. My grandma lost power but thankfully her home wasn't damaged at all. Apparently Punta Gorda got pretty much leveled like what Andrew did to Homestead, and I really hope the best for anyone who was affected by this storm.

Re: Hurricane warnings
 
I live in Tampa ... and originally the hurricane was coming toward us then it deviated and hit the Orlando area. But lucky for me (*sarcastically speaking*) my family had a convention to attend in Kissimmee Fl from the 13 - 15. We left Tampa on Thursday night, checked into the hotel and when we woke up on Friday morning we got ready to go to the convention. All the day ... the radio stations (all of them) were covering the hurricane and saying how it was now a category 4 and that it was no longer going to the Tampa area but coming right to us. Anyway, they cut the convention short and we went to the hotel early. The hurricane was schedule to hit our area around 8 - 10 p.m. Friday night. So it did and it was HORRIBLE!!! Wind was so strong it was blowing everything away, rocks were hitting our hotel window, water got into our room, and overall the power went out. Anyway, after it was over ... it all looked like a mess. Power (and in some places the water) was gone everywhere around us. NO LIGHT ... NOTHING!!!! :ahh: So the convention was canceled for the remaining time and we were sent home. As we were driving away we saw all of the mess ... huge signs had been destroyed and had fallen, trailer's roofs blown off, post and trees fallen ...etc.

Thankfully, the only activity in Tampa was a bit of rain. But I know that in other places it was much more destructible. I've lived trough 3 hurricanes (2 of which were category 4) and now 4 with this one. I know what the damages can be like after a hurricane and I hope that no one in this forum, or FIRST, or anywhere else was terribly affected by Charlie. And even if material damages occur the most important things is our lives so I hope that everyone is safe and secure!! :)

Re: Hurricane warnings
 
Thanks for your prayers. My house was near the eye and I live about twenty minutes away from Cocoa Beach. I know the eye of the storm went right through UCF, because my dad's apartment is about five minutes away from campus. Plus I was talking to him when the storm was going through :o

I know Florida Power and Light estimated that roughly one million people will be without power for about a week. Fortunately for me, no power outages, and no major damage, excepted for a couple of uprooted trees.

I hope everybody else is doing well under these pressing times.
