(42,334 posts)The year we had, what, 5 storms almost back to back? That was the same trajectory, I think. We had neighbors who bugged out and went to Orlando - and then it was forecast to go right through Orlando.
Our Local weatherman Jim Reif was the first to call it. Charley was supposed to hit Tampa, it got to Sanibel Island & turned left through Cape Coral & North Fort Myers & went straight into Calusa harbor.
