Hurricane Charley aims for Central Florida

August 11th, 2004

The National Weather Service is currently tracking two hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, both headed for Florida.

While Hurricane Bonnie is heading towards the Florida Panhandle (and most likely away from Central Florida), Hurricane Charley is scheduled to make landfall early Friday near Ft. Myers, FL on the states western coast. 

If the current track of the storm is accurate, Hurricane Charley will grow in strength to a category 2 hurricane before reaching land, and should be no stronger than a category 1 by the time it hits Central Florida.  It's current projected course will affect all of Central Florida, including the Walt Disney World area.
