[DMCForum] Re: Charley

["Mike" <mcquinlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good thing no one took me up on my offer to put their Delorean in my 
garage.  They predict now that the eye will pass right through 
Orlando.  They expect 100mph winds here.  The feeder bands are 
already here and the wind is ugly.  My pool has waves in it.  We had 
a small Tornado by Disney too.
