TB was spared. There was report if Charley hit TB. It woyld have gained enough strength of a Cat 5 'cane, and there is no way DT Tampa can get hammered at that monstrosity. St Pete would have been wiped out like Andrew did to SE FL.
When 145-150 mph hit the area near Ft Myers, imagine gaining strength +70 mile of distance before reaching landfall of Tampa. 160-175 mph winds or a bit more?? I count my blessing that I only experienced a Cat 3 in Hurricane Elena as a kid nearly two decades ago.

Folks...we dodged a HUGE bullet last Friday...let's hope it's a long, long time before we see something like that again...
Yeah I saw that!!! BTW I have my entiore front bumper off if you care to see. I think BR sent me an unfinished pipe. I have started a couple threads to see whats up but unfortunately my car has to sit all torn apart until I get my questions answered or they will probably have to overnight me a new pipe. Later

Looks like we will get a better idea on France's track by the end of the week. A group of us just came back from volunteer help in the Wauchula area. We really don't need another hurricane right now

hopefully i will be picking up the utec soon. i saw a bby in that area and thought it was you.
btw you might have to show me how to play with the utec. i am clueless about tuning. i think the install is gonna be easy but tuning is the hard part.

Glad to see everyone is alright. We had tons of water in the backyard and a few people I know were evac'd out in zerphyrhills area. Some of them did get flood damage and whatnot. Meadow Pointe [neighborhood I'm in] was without power for a little. I had no power for about 40 hours. Didn't have a generator at the time. But, everythings cool here and hopefully we just make it through hurricane season w/o a ton more damage. Just keep a very close eye on Ivan. Even though it's heading way to the south they say it could catch somewhere around the gulf and pull it north - northeast which it throw it in the TB area. Be cool guys.
Later.
