Whats Dennis Phillips track record? Isnt he the one who said Charlie was going to make a right hook?



Dennis only said Charley would hit the Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda area after the the storm began making a turn to the right around 1 p.m.. He didn't predict that turn until it actually happened, while most said Charley was wobbling, Dennis said no it is turning.

Actually Channel 8's met predicted a Punta Gorda landfall early that morning and before Charley turned according to the Viper technology he was using.

I like watching Dennis and was watching today (and tonigh), but after Charley he gloated too much on how he said it would affect the areas it eventually affected.
