It’s going to be a big one. They are predicting it will be bigger than Charley. FL does need another this soon. Only time this has happened before was in 1950.
Being a trained Disaster Response Inspector, I've been put on standby,this afternoon. This means I could be deployed in 24-48 or not at all. Just got to wait up to 5 days to find out.
Having been a Floridian at one time - 30 years ago, I was fortunate to only experience some of the small hurricanes. Keep you guys in FL in my thoughts. Hope I can help, if need be.

Please help the NACHI Foundation assist those affected by Charley and Frances! We need your support. Many of our donations have come from those in Florida themselves. Now let’s show them that the rest of us are supporting them. The NACHI Foundation is accepting fully tax deductible donations (to extent of law) to assist the victims of BOTH storms. Please visit www.nachifoundation.org to make a secure donation online.
Thanks to all donors in advance.
Good luck, and best wishes to all affected by these storms.

Good point John.
The Galveston Storm of 1900 has been the worst, to date, of all time. My grandmother was a toddler when it hit and recalls that the storm surge reached to the 3rd floor of their home. My family had a cast iron fence that prevented other homes from floating into their home. Otherwise they believe they would not have made it.
My prayers go out to all of you in Florida. Drive safely and take care of each other.
