cat 3 Charley

Anyone have any info on Joe Bastardi's take on Charley. Now that we have a killer on the loose, I will dispense with jokes.

One thing I might add, however, is this.

No one knows what mechanisms change a cat 3 to a 4 or 5. That being said...with this, we all know anything is still possible as far as strength. Those in the path need to be aware that a 3 is very scary and dangerous...I went through a direct hit with a strong 3 in 1979 (Frederic)...

anything above that would be very life threatening..especially in substandard homes...
