My street fared quite well, aside from being pitch black. My living room windows are just out of frame on the left.

A 90° turn to the left from the previous photo (my bedroom windows are out of frame on the right). I was concerned about the large pine tree falling, though the winds predominately blew southwest and would've blown the tree away from my building.

Same tree. The root system nearly toppled nearby A/C units.

This is what most of the rest of the streets throughout my complex looked like.

Though we lost several trees, this is the only one that caused significant problems.

Fortunately, the roads loop around the complex, so people's cars weren't trapped in the rear portion of the property.

This shot was taken from a street corner. Continuing to the left is the street passing in front of my building, eventually reaching the point where this album's first photo was taken.

Moving around to the back side reveals some limbs scraped the building and ripped off superficial portions.

Scouts honor—Charley did not knock over this carport. The poles had rusted at ground level and it toppled a good several weeks ago. Though perhaps the office will be able to add this to their insurance claim! Mua-ha-ha!
