Got the pleasure of living through Charlie in Orlando and Ivan in Tallahassee... neither of which were fun, but Charlie far worse. We're still picking up the pieces of Charlie in some places, and personally, our roof got finished 3 weeks ago from the rash of storms last year. Power was out for 8 days in my neighborhood, and my backyard went from looking like a freakin' rainforest to a barren lot of grass after the trees all got knocked down... each and every one of them. At least Ivan only knocked out power for about 36 hours up here, knocked down some smaller trees and some power lines. I don't think anyone was killed in Tallahassee, though the damage in the far panhandle was far worse. I know of at least 3 people personally that got killed either directly from the storm or from damages from tornadoes during the storms in the general Orlando area, so I will always keep a close eye to Mother Nature after that. Can't say I've got too many better things on my mind, and though it does seem like the norm, it can't be treated as your normal 4:00 PM thunderstorm that is severe once a week...
