Wiping the sweat from her forehead Sari Bikupski, an employee of Beachcomer Liquors, takes a break from picking up whats left of thousands of bottles of liquor that were left inside Beachcomer Liquors in Port Charlotte Monday. The roof of the business was peeled away like an orange during Hurricane Charley and an 11,000 pound U Haul truck was balanced on some rubble and unbroken liquor bottles which can be heard occasionally pooping underneath the pressure. The truck which made a 70 foot journey through the air from across the street fills what use to be the center of the store. Possibly picked up and deposited by a tornado said Bikupski's husband, Michael, also an employee. " The owners are trying to keeps on and they are still actually paying us," said Bikupski, " If they didn't I would have o move back to San Diego." Erik Kellar/Naples Daily News
