Re: visuals

I am still amazed how compact Charley was. Charlotte County Medical center recorded a 150 knot wind gust (170 mph) and they were farther from the storms center than I. Normally such a distance would merit no attention, however in a storm with an eye only 5 miles wide, and with hurricane force winds only extending out 25 miles, every mile make a huge difference. I would be interested to know exactly how strong the winds were at my location, and more specifically in the video I captured. I don't suppose anyone can tell by the visuals?
