Avweb has the dreadful pictures up

If I remember right, there was a tropical storm a couple days before Charlie
that cruised across the panhandle, who'd want to fly into that? That and
the supposed right turn that caught people by surprise. I say supposed
because the weather channel and I believe their website showed a predicted
path showing pretty close what it ended up doing. I saw one weather guy get
irritated at a news lady who asked about this surprise turn, he said it
wasn't any surprise, plenty were calling for that turn. I was surprised
when I heard so many stations report this as a surprise turn, it kind of
caught on and they ran with it.
So they had a window before the Trop storm, and maybe a day or two before
Charlie with the remnants of the trop storm, then they rolled the dice.
I'd a been somewhere in Alabama myself.
It's a drag to see all those wrecked airplanes.

Heres a shocker, that craphole who writes the Aviation Conspiracy newsletter
saw the silver lining in Charlie, the closing of airports. He mustve wet
his pants, or done other things, to the pictures on Avweb.

Folks should have flown further north, I guess.

Maybe. I remember one storm in the mid-70s that was supposed to hit Texas.
It hit
Mobile instead and headed inland. Finally petered out just short of
Atlanta. I used
to hunt in some pinelands a few miles west of Douglasville (one of
Atlanta's bedroom
communities). It looked like the gods were playing pickup-sticks with
30-foot pine
trees after that. Like I said. The only safe bet is to just take the plane
into
Kentucky. Even Tennessee is too close -- they have too many trailer parks.
