Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Charley missed us. When I heard it was doing a little damage in Orlando, I started to worry. But we were prepared anyway, you know, bottled water, batteries, etc. They did ask for an voluntary evacuation of the island, but I don't think very many people left. It rained hard and blew a bit but it started turning north just after the edge of it was passing over Orlando. Orlando's damage was light compared to the west coast tho. They got hit hard. I was in the Ft. Lauderdale area when hit and that was really bad. was the first time I had seen horzontal rain and the trees were blowing horizontally too. There were nurses going to the hospital to work the next day in rowboats. ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
