I'd appreciate it if you folks could throw up some prayers for my mom and the people in Central Florida too.

Just got off the phone with my mom, and they are predicting that the path of the hurricane will pretty much go right over her house with over 100 mph winds. She was out finishing putting put the hurricane shutters on the house.

Needless to say, I'm very worried. And slightly panicked. She has lived down there since '87 and has never had a direct hit of a hurricane (usually it brushes just north or south).

We also have friends from the lighthouse society that live in the Fort Myers area.

Thoughts and prayers to all who are in the path of Charley.
