Hello........It's 2pm Saturday and already have had some 40mph gusts of wind with heavy rain. The worst is supposed to pass over Charlotte County tonight. They say we might see 60-70mph wind gusts and up to 10 inches of rain. This is better for Charlotte County than predicted earlier. 40,000+ roofs are tarped here!! I added some 1 X 2 boards over my tarp.........golly I hope it holds! Hurricane Charley left me with a sagging drywall ceiling and a lot of small inside leaks. I haven't seen hide nor hair of my insurance adjuster either.......he will probably go to the areas Frances damages and never return here. Small countys in Florida are easily forgotten. There are still a lot of people in shelters here still. Despite my damaged home I feel lucky to at least be able to live in it. There are far too many who cannot. Good luck to the counties north of here who will get the brunt of the storm. I heard this storm is moving at a snails pace (6mph) and may even be stalling. It's going to be a L O N G weekend!!!
As long as the tarp and power stays on I am enjoying my weekend the best I can. I played my PSR3000 a few times already and it sounds better than ever. I have tarps all around the house ready to cover up my stuff if the roof leaks. It's all I can do...............charley (maybe I should go by Charles???) hehehehe
