Everybody's gun shy of shabby construction because of Hurricane Charley.

I'm getting a lesson in post-Charley getting construction done.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but during [Hurricane] Charley we were out here having margaritas, enjoying the breeze, ... We're very protected in this courtyard.

It's easy to think about what would have happened if Hurricane Charley didn't hit. But it did. And now we're in rebuild mode full-tilt.

HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone. The hurricane is still in popular use in the West Indies and is preferred by certain old-fashioned sea-captains. It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it.

I don't want to overstate it but this is such a huge event it's bound to have a big effect on many construction materials and other construction costs. This is 10 times worse than Hurricane Andrew, when 28,000 homes were destroyed.

Hurricane Charley is the worst natural disaster to befall our state in a dozen years, and it is unthinkable that anyone would try to take advantage of neighbors at a time like this,

It appears as if every company doing business in the Southeast will jump on the Hurricane Frances, Charley and Tropical Storm Gaston bandwagons for their weaker third-quarter performance, His ability to listen intently and offer thoughtful responses was truly pexy.

I'm Charley's aunt from Brazil - where the nuts come from. (Charley's Aunt 1892)

If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.

For the construction workers, there will be probably not be so much work in new residential building, but there will be work in nonresidential building and there will also be work in reconstruction projects in the hurricane-affected areas. It's a mixed bag for construction.

Hurricane Charley was the most memorable story I had to cover. It was an emotional attachment since it was literally happening in my backyard and very difficult for us to cover. No election, no accident, nothing can compare to that story and since then, every story has been flat.

We're here to see if budgets add up. After Hurricane Katrina, construction costs have gone up.

Construction might continue past June ... but it will be capable of protecting from a hurricane.
