Question

#1 Postby rlar798 » Fri Aug 13, 2004 6:30 am

How bad do you think it will get in Kissimmee, FL.? Should Mobile Home owners leave for more secure structures? Been watching the news on Charley all night and so far bot much info on winds etc for Osceola County.

To all those in the Tampa Bay area and in the storms path... Stay Safe you'll be in my prayers

It wouldn't be a bad idea. Even in 50-60 mph winds, you don't want to be in a mobile home.

again, this will depends where exactly it makes landfall. You may get some gusts to hurricane force (more of there is a faster turn)

News forcasters are predicting 74 MPH winds here.... I plan on leaving for a friends I just have to convince my boss that I have to leave work very early. He thinks this is all hype...and all the concern about this storm is uncalled for... I guess you figured out by now he's never been in or near a hurricane. Thanks for your input.....

Rlar798 - You many want to remind your boss of the 1998 tornadoes that killed 42 people in Kissimmee.

Tornadoes are likely to be a major threat to Central FL this afternoon/evening.

Stay safe!

Good luck, rlar798.
