That is a great site Gordon, thanks for sharing. I'm leaving Thursday 6:00 AM so I will be watching the developments.
Pray that it passes through and hits no one!
OP
Christi:
Luckily, there is an extremely rare August cold front that is moving through Texas at the moment; it is causing both storms to veer to the east. Not so lucky for you guys over in Florida, though, I guess...

for me. Actually, they are going to miss both of us a tad if the current projections hold true, with Bonnie sliding in near Panama City, probably as a low-end Category 1 hurricane, and Charley hitting near Naples/Ft. Myers as a healthy Category 2 'cane.
My boat partner and I were sweating our boat's future if Charley moved north, because she's docked in Tarpon Springs on the Anclote River in a covered slip with less than 10 ft. clearance between the cover over the flybridge and lateral steel girders supporting the roof, and there was a forecast for 10-14 ft. storm surge there when Charley was originally projected for landfall north of Tampa. If the projected track holds true, we'll get little storm surge on the Anclote with northerly and easterly backwash off the 'cane.
Thank you, Jesus!

from those maps, it looks like Fla. and the south eastern US seaboard are gonna get back to back whamies. I wonder if this is due to the warmer than usual water temps.
