I believe he's over in Tampa,which Charley missed.
I live just north of Orlando,and lost power for 7 days,and there was great
tree damage and loss all around here.

Haven't heard anything - I tried to email him a week or so ago. Last email I
got from him he mentioned he would be out of town for a while, but I haven't
heard anything since!

What calibre do you use on a hurricane?

I heard from him a few days ago. NO problems -- storm was quite some
distance to the south of him...

757 Jet from Boeing.

Everyone from Ft Myers to Daytona Beach saw something from that little
storm. I have some friends down there who were without power and
telco for days. The Tampa Bay area got off quite light.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the big wind.

My mom lives in Jacksonville. All they got was some heavy rain and
high surf for awhile.

I don't think he has ever used a sword. Rather he was run through by one
which almost killed him. Perhaps real men get run through by a sword and
live.

That will certainly cut the wind.

I was in Crystal River/Homosassa durring the storm, (which turned out to be
untouched when Charley took that unexpected hard right turn), saw his old
business on 19 was closed.

Out of business closed or boarded up for the storm closed?

He has closed the business and gone back to driving a truck.

Actualy he used a Beretta-full of .25ACP rounds on the ninja's
head.

He has been driving a truck on day runs to GA lately and his
email/news access is spoty.

Charley missed Dave's area completely, but Frances is on track to pass right
through his area when it moves from the land out onto the Gulf of Mexico on
Monday. I'm east of Tampa and we're already getting squall lines (2 a.m.
Sunday morning). I've got a Springer 1911A1 cocked and locked to protect
hearth and home from looters after the storm passes. This is the first time
since I started shooting again about five years ago that my wife has said she's
glad I have a gun.
