Another One???!!!
I am new here but since I have registered here - I have been hit by once Hurricane (Charley) and another is on the way...in les than 1 month - this is a cat. 5 hurricane with winds of 150+ mph 
I don't think I can handle being w/o power again as sad as that sounds...

Its actually a Cat 4, which is continuous 140mph winds not the 150. Not that your going to be able to tell the difference easily.
I never did much like Orlando anyway  Seriously though, batten down those hatches.

Living in Texas near the Gulf coast (Houston) I know about Hurricanes having gone through several. We haven't had one for some years. But I remember. A few have come close but none have hit near enough to do any real damage. I feel bad for you and the people there. Don't take chances. It's amazing the power of Mother Nature. Can't fight her.

now they are saying that she has reduced the travel speed by 9 MPH but wind speeds will still be 115+ and we here in FL can see 4-6 hours of 115+ wind speeds as she creeps through and 12-20" of rain
I am sure I can expect to lose power
