I'm ready for it now.
I had to go buy a tube of caulking and add a new bead around my
bedroom
window, which was leaking.
Bring it on Charley.

CHARLEY - STORM SURGE FLOODING 10'-13' POSSIBLE
 

Seems kind of strange having a hurricane hitting the Keys and no word from
Neal about how he will survive against all odds...

His boat sank months ago and he is now living in a trailer park. I saw him on
an eposode of Cops.

Hey Katy,

This is from my friends Sandy & Cheri on a P40 in Key Today

13 August 2004 Key West, Florida


"We got lucky, the winds only got to 40 mph and there was no surge.
We'll wait a little while and then we will start unpacking things and
figuring out where we will go from here." Sandy felt that if the storm
continued north and missed Ft. Meyers, they might go back up there
before going to the Dry Tortugas. But of course, the beauty of
cruising is you don't really have a firm schedule and your plans can
remain flexible.

So IF Neal is back from crusing and not on his mooring he should be
fine.

I was thinking the same. . . all I have to report is doing my best to
prepare for a category 3 on short notice, our winds peaked at almost
50knots,,,,,

snip from an email I got:

"the USCG that Group Key West received a 0900
satellite telephone call from Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas
National Park. The entire dock was destroyed, as was "the mote" ....
but I interpret this to mean the mote bridge. All 17 personnel at the
Fort are fine... and the
dog and cat are OK too.

The winds were a sustained 115 knots and they had a storm surge of
6-8'."

------------

that was first account, updated account was that only the finger piers
at Ft Jeff's dock were destroyed.

still unclear how much damage the moat endured.

I rather put up with the chance of being hit by a hurricane anyday,
than to know Im going to be hit with a blizzard and freezing weather
every year.
