I sat in my library watching Charley as it made its way up the west coast of Florida heading towards Tampa Bay. That is, until it made an abrupt right turn and bombed (rapid increase in intensity) and headed right towards us. Too late to evacuate, I quickly tried to figure out how to get my disabled husband (who died a month later during an evacuation for H. Ivan) on the roof of our home if the surge came. There was no way to know that Charley would turn like that. It was more of a super tornado than cane when it hit land but the damage was extensive. Fortunately is was a sparsely populated area of Florida contrasted with the Tampa or Miami-Palm Beach areas. Message 20461924 Message 20493970 Message 20512248 After that last post linked above, I again tried to awaken my husband, and called 911. He died on the way to the hospital. The stress of the many hurricanes was too much for him. Mike died 9/11/2004. Seven years later I have remarried, started a new business completely different from my old one and made and lost several millions in the market (but still way ahead of where I would have been) Silicon Investor is the site I go to each day still.
