The ten year anniversary of Hurricane Charley in 2014, and a nagging feeling that I should revisit the hurricane shutter quotes I had solicited in the previous year, inspired me to take a closer look at the tropical storm history of the area around Burnt Store Road.

This chapter was previously published as a three part article in the Burnt Store Marina Beacon.
