Hi StormLover. One of the 'just inland' Charley suvivors here. In fact I just started a thread about it. Remember Punta Gorda isn't inland, its right at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor. Charley was only impacted by the barrier islands before he hit Punta Gorda and they didn't slow him down much. But I'm looking for data too on wind speeds and eye width as he came up the Peace River and Kings Highway on his way to Arcadia. Let me tell you, there's not much left of Arcadia either. If I find it, I'll post it here. You do the same. Thanks.
