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

Was Hurricane Charley more powerful than Hugo was when it made landfall also as a Cat 4? I heard where Charley's sustained winds were around 145 mph, whereas Hugo's in 1989 were around 135mph. If so, then Charley must have been closer in intensity to Andrew. Can you shed light on this at all?
