Hurricane 1

Yesterday, we braced ourselves for Hurricane Charley. By the time I got home from work at 4:00 pm. it had been upgraded to a category 4 hurricane. It was expected to hit the Tampa area, so thousands of people evacuated from there to the Orlando area. However, it turned slightly and after landing on shore in the Fort Myers, Punta Gorda area, was headed towards Orlando!
We live in Melbourne, which is SE of the area the hurricanes hit. It went through Orlando, through Cocoa Beach are and into Daytona...which are all North of where we are. The most we got were some high winds, heavy rainfall and a pine branch through our family room window! Not bad considering the devestation others are experiencing at this moment. This was a bad hurricane and lots of lives, homes and automobiles were lost.
