We were spared in the panhandle with only a great deal of rain but it was a very bad storm with estimates of 15 billion in damages. Counties affected by Charley are Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Desoto, Glades, Hardee, Highlands, Lee, Monroe, Pinellas and Polk. Fort Myers is in Lee. My friend's brother had his car windows blown out in Orlando. Half million without power.1.4 million evacuated. More storms are expected this year...some forming now...
