  • on average how often orlando gets hit?

  • Orlando is brushed by tropical storms or hurricanes pretty frequently, but a direct hit like Charley is quite rare. Hurricane Charley was the first direct hit to the city since Hurricane Donna in 1960.

  • lived in orlando during charley. had no power for a little over a week. My very first hurricane

  • lorida Hurricane Charley and Tropical Storm Bonnie

    Major Disaster Declared August 13, 2004

  • Tell you this, I was driving to work during the evening and the winds were starting to rock my car while on the way to work. After I got there, I got inside and then all hell broke loose for real, it got dark and the winds were freaking strong indeed. If I had taken a few minutes longer, I would have never been able to go anywhere, except hunker down in my vehicle and wait until morning, which would not have been cool.

  • i just missed this hurricane by a couple of days!! it hit Florida just 2 days after i got home from holiday!! 2004 was my first holiday to Orlando.

  • Yea, sadly I wasn't here in 2004. I have been wanting to feel the power of a real hurricane since a while. Hopefully one will come this season.

  • charley was my first and hell.. i want another one.. me, my brother and my sister went out in it.. hell of a good time!!!

  • Lol. I know what you mean bro. Charlie was my first Hurricane.

  • 2004 was awful in Florida. Seriously. Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, then the next year Katrina, Wilma, and Rita. Seriously. Its now the Plywood state rather than Sunshine state. HAHA I still love living here though.

  • Hey! I was there!

    Freaky do you think?

    I think.

     I was 3 when that happend. FREAKED OUT MAN SCARED TO DEATH GAHH!!!!!
