Re: Charley'sWindsComparedToHugo's

It seemed to me, watching some of the radar loops, that Charley remained a very compact and intense storm even after it made landfall. Is this pretty rare for a hurricane to remain so intense after it comes ashore? The damage in Punte Gorde looks like the storm retained Category 4 winds quite a ways inland.
