    Glad to hear you're OK. :D Come out my way... West Orange County. The 408 is still free, and if you take it West to the Turnpike North and get off at SR 50--> LOTS OF GAS! :yes Seriously, the lines in town are ridiculous...

    Hurricane Charley vs. My VOOM Dish...

    That's how everyone down here feels... :( The damage cannot really be conveyed through pictures. It is so widespread. Orlando/Winter Park from the air is basically covered by a canopy of trees about 80-100' tall. That canopy has been thinned out dramatically. These trees are HUGE...

    Hurricane Charley vs. My VOOM Dish...

    Yep, I own a house... I'm really just worrying about the dish being ripped off of the roof... And, whether or not I should do anything to keep it from blowing away/ripping out of my shingles... I guess if something happened to it I would just call Voom? Hopefully they would fix it, maybe with...

    Hurricane Charley vs. My VOOM Dish...

    Well it looks like Hurrican Charley will pass over Orlando Friday afternoon/night... Think I will get some rain fade?? ;) My question... "What should I do to my dish/OTA antenna if anything?" Will it hold up? If I posted a pic would that help? Thanks guys...
