One of my friends called me to tell me she heard on the news earlier that County officials are thinking of evacuating Orange County. I was going on vacation to Atlanta anyway but I'm still really worried. The storm is so severe that they want to evacuate people who are an hour inland. My roommate and I are going to spend this afternoon putting tarp up around the house and getting everything ready for the storm. Charley was a tiny little storm compared to this one.
The power company only did a temporary repair of the power lines and grids. If this hurricane comes through, it could really wipe out the whole power system for two weeks. We still have power companies from all over Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina here repairing stuff. The news was saying that the County has already called power companies in the Midwest to ask them to start driving down to Central Florida.
