No one in Lee and Charlotte county will ever forget what they were doing on this day in 2004. Hurricane Charley was supposed to have landfall near Tampa more than 100 miles north and we were boared up, supplies ready for some 40 mph and alot of rain. What we got was a direct hit on Bokeelia and went thru NW Cape Coral and up into Punta Gorda who by far fared the worse. A CAT 3 hurricane carried 100mph+winds, torandos, hail and RAIN .. nothing we had ever experieced in my lifetime. Alot of lessions were learned...you can never be too prepared..generator is a must, ice is a much sought after thing, and PRAY for the best.
