we're at the all stars right now... my apartment is in a flood area, so we decided to shack up at the all stars. We're at the all-star sports on the third floor... attempting to order pizza. No luck.

Tornadoes all over the place. Dave is videotaping everythihng, and I'm photographing.

We're online using daves laptop and my cellphone as a dialup modem.

That's it for now... this is being documented.

Hurricane Charley has just come on shoew according to the news.. so the ________ has hit the fan.. officially.

Price gouging has hit hard... I attempted to buy an AM/FM radion... $70?!?!?!!?

I ended up finding the last one at Eckerd drugs fro $30... SOLD!

that's it for now.. later

Please stay safe! Be careful. Tornadoes everywhere!? That doesn't sound too good. Hopefully there will be no major damage at the theme parks.

Hope Charley doesn't hit ya'll too bad. I feel bad for you Floridians, but I'm glad that Louisiana is being spared. Hurricanes are the price we pay for living where we live. If nothing else, enjoy your stay at the All-Star Resort and keep us updated.

Alright.... internet back up. Dunno for how long tho. Sprint PCS cell phone. Rockon.

Anyhow.... winds are sporatic. All star sports ran out of 16 inch pizzas. We were last in line. Winds are kicking up a tad. Somewhat. Im trying to get a photo from earlier up. Eventually we'll post video.

MK today was errie. Small crowd at open. Buzier as it grew towards 1 PM. Announcement was weird. Rode a bunch of rides.

Chip N Dale now on TV.. .was, now Old school mickey mouse.

This photo is from one of the earlier rain bands that contained tornadoes. I'd say this was 4 something this afternoon. We'll be fine....

hey guys... quick update. The guest of this hotel are seriously underestimating what can happen... up until recently, there were kids playing football outside and going swimming. Stuff like this really makes you see what people are made of. We've become pretty good acquaintances with some of our neighbors here, sharing some food and alcohol.

It's gonna be a fun night... that's for sure.

The trees are shaking like crazy... and whats rather scary, in the baseball section of the allstars where we're at, the flagpoles are moving. Not a lot, but definitely not a little.

I have taken a good amount of photos at this point, dave has. This connection makes if VERY prohibitive to upload any more photos, but expect more as soon as we can get a decent connection.

Thanks for your well wishes guys, but remember that there's still millions of others being affected by this. I've survived some of the worst hurricanes out there, send your prayers to those that have underestimated this and have no clue what they're in for.

alright.. winds picking up. we are estimating 20-25 mph sustained with 45 mph gusts. We are anticipating losing power, lights have been flickering. There were sirens outside earlier. At this point, I'm trying to get the weather.gov doppler up...

over and out
