Hurricane Charley

Hurricane Charley was a prominent hurricane that hit Sanibel Island in August of 2004. It is also known locally as the 2004 Sanibel Hurricane Incident locally.

History
In August 2004, residents evacuated the island as a hurricane rushed through the area. The hurricane destroyed power lines, ruined the roads, and wrecked the town water supply. A temporary City Hall was established in Fort Myers until the island could be re-inhabited. About once every 20 years, a hurricane happens. Every 40 years, something like this happens.
