Is Your Central Florida Home Charley-Proof?

On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley raced across Orlando, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. The storm moved so quickly across the peninsula that it did not lose a lot of its punch, and wind gusts of more than 100 mph were recorded in the area. In fact, the storm was so powerful that it still retained Category 1 status when it moved back out over the Atlantic Ocean later that day. Charley proved one thing to local residents – Central Florida was certainly not immune to this type of hit. And homeowners were left to clear up the damage and think about their level of preparedness for this type of situation. Fast forward to today, and are you ready for the next Charley?
