The eye passed over my area between 9 PM and 10 PM Friday night. The wind was down to about 75 mph compared to the 140 mph that it had when it came ashore. When the eye hit, it was like someone turned off the wind with a switch. It became calm in an instant, really amazing. The worst damage in Central Florida was from trees falling or debris being blown through windows. There was some wind damage to buildings, but nothing like the coastal areas where it came ashore. We got real lucky here. I've been hearing hurricane warnings for thirty some years and this was the first one to really hit here. I hope I never see one come through with the 140 mph winds that Charlie hit the coast with.
