Just thought I would report that I was down in Florida for a week (Sarasota), so myself and my daughter could visit my grandfather who isn't doing to well.
The trip got nerve racking as we couldn't fly out on Friday as scheduled due to Hurricane Charley and ended up having to ride the storm out. Needless to say I don't think I have been more scared in my life then this when watching the news and seeing the eye of a category 4 hurricane heading straight for us. Luckily the storm made a quick turn east and hit the Ft. Myers area which is about 40 miles south of where I was.
This storm also had us cancel our BGT day trip because the Tampa Bay area was originally supposed to take the direct hit from the storm.
On a good note though. My grandfather is slowly improving and we dodged a bullet. Glad to be back in Chicago where hurricanes don't exist.
