» Sorry Charley
Hurricane Charley bypassed the Jacksonville area with relatively little flooding or wind damage, but the small city of Punta Gorda, a place 100 miles south of Tampa, Florida, is now receiving the worst kind of national attention: it was ground zero for Charley’s coming ashore party.
Thousands are homeless; mobile homes don’t hold up well in 145 mile-per-hour wind gusts. Some only the have the clothes on their back, and many of the homeless include the elderly and retirees. For everyone who didn’t live in Miami when Andrew wreaked havok, this was a stern wake up call to heed the warnings and be prepared, because the hurricane season is just getting started.
Be prepared. Be ready.
