Here are some pictures of what Charlie left in Punta Gorda.

This bilboard off the highway was one of the first signs that the storm had passed through...

[Puddles]

Next were the light poles, they were bent over all along the highway...

[Puddles]

Highway signs were down too. This one was as we were heading back to Tampa, driving there the signs were flat on the ground and you had no idea which exit was which.

[Puddles]

This was a building about 3 blocks before we got to my mom's community.

[Puddles]

As we drove into my mom's community we saw that many trees were down.

A picture of her street.

Here you can see someone's ceiling fan and kitchen light on the street.

[Puddles]

There's a man on this roof trying to cover up before the rain came.

[Puddles]

My mom's carport had almost no damage yet her neighbor's came partly down.

[Puddles]

This is inbetween the two houses. Mom's screen got cut but that's it!

[Puddles]

Her neighbor's house had a lot of siding ripped off.

[Puddles]

This is across the street, her neighbor's garage just wiped out.

[Puddles]

This is her other neighbor's living room. A 2x4 had gone through the front wall like an arrow and wedged itself into the back of the tv, we couldn't move it.
