Yep.........it was Hurricane Charlie at the 04 Daytona show. It was supposed to hit us directly in pinellas county but then it changed at literally the last minute and went south of us so we were lucky. That was on thursday I think.........?? Then it pretty much took I4 up through Orlando and out at Daytona on Friday. If you travel I4 much, you can still see the trees that were blown sideways. Don't get me wrong, I'm a house owner myself and do not enjoy seeing destruction to peoples properly and lives, but to me.....hurricanes and tropical storms are fun times. If you didn't grow up in florida then its probably hard to understand but usually its about a week of talking about it and watching the news, and everyone is scrambling around at Walmart and Home Depot while it looks like its going to rain Hell outside. Then the Storm either comes and its not what it was supposed to be (alot weaker by then) or it shifts and completely misses. Thats the hard thing about the storms. They have all of these "models" on the radar, but they are still very difficult to predict.

I guess I enjoy it cause' I never got snow days and always just wanted an excuse to miss school or work.........! Anyways, like I said.......I don't enjoy seeing destruction, so everyone be safe and take the necessary precautions.....yadda,yadda,.......
