and keep an eye on 'Bonnie' and 'Charlie'.

Looks like TS 'Bonnie' is headed towards the panhandle area with landfall on Thursday and currently TS 'Charlie' is expected to impact the west coast of Florida Friday somewhere between the Tampa Bay area and Fort Myers.

4. Two hurricanes are God's judgement on us...

for having both a Bush in the white house and another as governor. Seriously, those in the path take care and pray for us down here in St Pete. We're right in the bullseye.

5. Thoughts are with you.

For those in the path of this thing. Weather channel is saying that it could hit as a category 3. I'm in Miami right now and it's pretty damn windy here. Lucky for us all we'll get is rain. We'll still be under a tornado warning until tomorrow though.



Good luck guys, be careful.

[Caution]

6. Category 4 as of 2:31 PM Eastern

7. It will make landfall in the next 20 minutes.

For those DUers in the path, please come back soon and let us know you're alright.

8. We'll see what it's like around 8PM on the east coast...

...I am concerned about Sanibel, though, it's one of my favorite places in the state.
