Wow -- were we lucky. In the final moments, the storm began to wobble, was upgraded to a catagory four, and then no one knew where it was going to go. We were going mad with nervousness, especially since we thought this was going to be nothing more than a strong catagory one or weak two.
And then they suddenly said it was going to become a five.
The poor people of Poor Punta Gorda got slammed. Charley was so small in diameter that were only got light rains and barely any wind at all. Originally, though, we couldn't have been more worried -- the storm track line was right over where I live.
And after seeing the video footage and roofs flying away, there is no way in hell I'm sticking around next time. If anything comes this way, I'm leaving.
