ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Aug. 16, 2004 – More than 4,000 members of the Florida National Guard were on duty today to support recovery operations from Hurricane Charley's devastation Aug. 13 across southwest and central Florida.

The 4,372 Guard members are either conducting missions in support of a massive relief effort by civilian agencies or preparing to respond to requests for assistance after reporting to armories and other facilities throughout the state.

Guard task forces were taking part in Operation Gulf Winds to help the million or so Floridians who were left homeless or without electrical power and running water in the wake of the most powerful hurricane to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew struck in August 1992. As many as 6,200 Guard members took part in that recovery operation, recalled Lt. Col. Ron Tittle, a Florida Guard spokesman.

The Guard was primed to cope with Charley because officials had begun preparing to deal with Tropical Storm Bonnie, which came ashore in Florida's western panhandle the day before and quickly moved north, causing little damage.
