Charley, as anyone watching the Weather Channel knows, wiggled across the middle of the Florida penninsula. It hit just south of Tampa, and wandered into the Atlantic from the Daytona Beach area.

Ocala missed the storm’s fury, but I think that was a 50/50 proposition even late this afternoon. This area got light winds and a few bouts of moderately heavy rains.

I didn’t see anywhere near the intensity I’d hoped. Part of me sighs relief, but another part looks forward to next time.
