In The path of charley

Friday august the 13th 2004,
The sky began to darken,
 And the wind began to roar.

Hurricane charley had,
 Blown into town.
Leaving destruction,
And disaster all around.

It ripped off roofs,
And knocked big trees down.
And electric power went off,
All thru the town.

Some folks lost all that,
They owned.
Their cars, their clothes,
And even their homes.

Some lost a little,
Some lost a lot.
Some were insured,
Others were not.

Charley's winds were furious,
Of that there was no doubt.
That's why the people,
Were warned early to get out.

But some folks were foolish,
And thought they'd be brave.
But sadly their homes,
To them became a grave.
