Hurricane Charley - The Boca BeaconThe photos below were taken by Dusty Hopkins and Gary Dutery in the hours after Boca Grande took a direct hit from Hurricane Charley on August 13, 2004. The photos were posted on BocaBeacon.com on August 14, 2004 when Internet service was restored to the island. These were the first images of Charley's impact on the island that were broadcast to the outside world. We have decided to leave the page as it was first seen less than 24 hours after the storm had passed. |
