*New photos added showing rebuilt structures* The following are a collection of various Hurricane Charley images and damage photos. Some are grabs from camcorder video. I haven't had as much free time as I would like or need to make the original images the most website-ready, so unfortunately the quality is a bit low on some of the photos. However, when time allows these will be updated and new photos added.

Bush had just arrived at the airport in a military helicopter.This is 1 section of a 5 section condominium complex. This complex sustained such extensive damage that it had to be completely leveled.
