I'm based in Clearwater (Tampa Bay area). I'm fairly sure it's not a good idea to head south. Might get caught by the storm.

After seeing the damage Charley did to planes amd hangars, I'd like to play it safe.

Finn,

    I don't know where you are (I expect on the east coast of FL somewhere),
but you could consider Venice, FL (VNC), about 20 miles south of Sarasota.
I believe a couple motels (if they have any vacancies) will send a car.

    The roads are filling with those escaping the storm.  I expect hotels
and motels to be filling as well - hurry...!

    No guarantees that Venice won't get hit as well - that storm has mind of
it's own.

I'm seriously considering flying out of here if it comes this way.
Can anybody recommend an airfield with a cheap motel nearby - probably west
of the predicted path?

case.)
