Just a hurricane update from Orlando, Florida. Finally got our cable - and our internet - back yesterday (Sunday 8-22-04). I live 4 miles south of downtown Orlando and we were without power the nite of the hurricane Friday 8:00 PM 8-13-04 thru Wednesday 11:00 AM 8-18-04. My son and I hunkered down in a downstairs bathroom with no windows for about an hour when Charley came through. The winds were 90 mph sustained and, I'm sure, gusted to 100 mph or more - Charley made a lot of noise. It sure seemed like our roof was going to fly off for a while. We came out of it just fine - no major damage. For us it was quite an adventure. It was one of those times I was glad I was around to experience this with my 16 year old son. I know some of the cities southwest (Florida's gulf coast) were devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with all the good folks struggling with the aftermath.
