I would have posted in chit chat but its not available. which is the reason I was asking about bts.

Bonnie just hit New Brunswick and caused irreperable damage. I saw scenes of flooding on tv, which is pretty major since it was supposed to have lost most of its power before it reached Canada.

I just realised how severe Charlie is, since it is more devastating than bonnie, as it stepped up from a category 2 to a category 4 hurricane.

On a personal note. I live in Toronto, even though I was aware of these situations, it wasn't that much of a big deal as of yesterday, as it didn't affect me in any way. I do have family in Florida, and my prayers go out to them and to the rest of the people living on the east coast.

The weatherman in Toronto predicted that Charlie would get picked up by a jetstream hence directing it eastward towards the ocean. Which now seems to be wishful thinking.

Hurricane Chalie report

Spared the worst of the storm was the Tampa Bay area, where about a million people had been told to leave their homes. Some drove east, only to find themselves in the path of the Charley.

"I feel like the biggest fool," said Robert Angel of Tarpon Springs, who sought safety in a Lakeland motel. "I spent hundreds of dollars to be in the center of a hurricane. Our home is safe, but now I'm in danger."

Environment Canada has a heavy rainfall warning. Just thunder storms and rain. Do you live in NB?

1. There's a flaming banner on the front page and a thread explaining that BTS will be down until late tomorrow.

2. There's an alert on Charley and we're all watching.

3. Nobody boo'd anybody at the Olympics.

4. And I'm not an idiot.

Considering your whole damned post is errant...you want to try again?

Just updated it. see above.
