We lived in Maitland - 436 and I4 area in Orlando - when Charlie went over; we had a concrete block house and camped out in the center hallway for about an hour . Then I got tired of the whole thing and went back to bed! The power was out for three days, so we cooked on the grill and went to the Altamonte Mall when we wanted civilization - they had power! Large trees around the area, but we didn't lose any. Fortunately Charlie moved fast. The slower a hurricane, the more time for it to do damage.
