Re: Charley'sWindsComparedToHugo's

Well, that it struck that area with the right front quadrant is why the damage is so bad there, as that is where the winds were the strongest, but not necessarily because that's the first part of the storm that made landfall. Since it was at it's peak intensity at that point, that might've made things a bit worse, but that's already factored into the analysis of the storm.
