Scroll down to Online Segments and click on Hurricane Charley: Moment by Moment. You can watch video and read an hour by hour account of the day Charley made landfall. It was hard to watch the video. I found myself watching the 2:00 p.m. video feed from Ft. Myers Beach and suddenly my chest felt tight. It was like I was suddenly there again, sitting on my couch, watching the constant satellite feed, wondering what to do next. It's very interesting viewing, that's for sure.
The Army Cor Of Engineers reported that Gusts in Charley were as high as 185 mph and possibly in excess of that. All I know is in order for wind to pick up a 3 or 4 ton U haul truck and toss it 50 feet into the center of a liquor store.. Think about that one for a few mins.. Survived Charley in a local hospital in Port Charlotte, and it was definitely an experience.
