That is an awesome storm. You have to respect Mother Nature
I grew up in Jacksonville and live in a few years in Savannah - they are saying both places have higher than normal amounts of storm surge damage when storms come through (NOLA was another high surge place but the Outer Banks was not, which is strange to me.............).
With the sudden change of direction with Charley, at least most are more aware of being ANYWHERE in the path now.
Hope everyone stays safe!!!
