Hurricane Charley

In August of 2004, Florida was struck with a Category-4 hurricane called Charley. Hurricane Charley was the second strongest hurricane to ever hit the US next to Andrew in 1992. With a maximum wind speed of 240km/h, Charley caused 35 deaths and $17.8 billion in damages. This video shows the catastrophic damage in the communities of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda.
