Hurricane Charley and Punta Gorda
In 2004 the western Florida coast was devastated by hurricane Charley. I flew in to Florida to visit my mother and father about a day after the hurricane had been through. My parents lived in Punta Gorda, and it was apparent that the town had been hit hard when I encountered a National Guard roadblock about fifteen minutes outside the town. Though the damage to things like the gutters, street signs, and select buildings around the town was intense, my parent’s house had avoided all but cosmetic damage.
Despite the imposing risk of hurricanes, the town as a whole proved quite durable. One year later I visited my parents again, and the town appeared as if nothing had happened. Punta Gorda real estate values were normal, all the visible damage had been removed or repaired, and residents I spoke with remembered the storm as just a passing memory. It’s remarkable to encounter such resilient people.
