From a reader in Oldsmar, Florida:

Just got back from evacuating from Tampa right into the path of Charley where my RV got lifted off the ground and moved about 10 feet but is amazingly not much worse for the wear.
If Earl heads for Tampa Bay I think there is going to be a major problem of “the boy who cried wolf” and not even Jeb Bush urging us to leave again will work. I, for one, am not going to pay attention to any mandatory evacuation notices until somebody can say with certainty that the hurricane is going to hit within in a few hours.
