Charlie's done, over, kaput, finished here in Florida. While he caused some severe damage in other areas, where we were he was a bust.

Granted I was asleep, but the winds predicted didn't materialize, neither did the rainfall. I don't have an accurate reading, but when I went to bed at 1530 last night the gauge read just over a half inch.

I don't recall waking through the night to any heavy rain and now things are quiet can calm. The sky is still overcast, but that is expected to change soon too.

For this time, bye bye Charlie.
