Could Fay turn into a Charley?

Hi,

Looking at the track forecast for Fay I start wondering whether Fay could turn into a Charley-like hurricane. It does not look like Fay could pack the same power in terms of intensity, but could she not end up have a similar type of track and spew as many tornadoes as Charley did?

We live in New Smyrna Beach, but on the mainland and for us Charley's worst effect were the numerous tornadoes which Charley spawned. In our subdivision many homes ended up loosing their roofs to these tornadoes.

How much of a threat do you think Fay represents to East Central Florida and Volusia county? What is the worst-case we should be ready for?

Thanks,

VS
