Charlie was still able to kick Orlando’s arse and it was a smaller, weaker storm. Do not discount impacts away from the center of this storm.
I evacuated to there, and it DID kick bad!!!
I bought my house in 2011. There are Trees on the property still bent from the heavy winds. I also have a small patch of my property that is just typical Florida overgrowth. The owner tells me that Andrew totally cleared that area out.
