Re: Category 4 Hurricane Charley Landfalls north of Ft. Myers Central Florida Bracing

Hurricane Charley's sustained winds upon landfall were 145 mph, any idea on the pressure upon landfall? Hugo was also Cat 4 when it arrived in 89, what are some differences in terms of size, compactness, and sustained windspeeds upon landfall? Based on damage, do you think later on Charley will be upgraded to Cat 5 as Andrew was, or was it just a mean Cat 4? Thanks for any input.
