There are some BIG differences between Fay/Charlie... Fay is a much larger (size not strength). Charlie crossed Cuba as a cat3 weakened upon crossing then ramped up quickly because it was a very SMALL storm (size again not strength). I doubt Fay will be even a Cat1 crossing Cuba (all depends on time over water and organization). Larger storms take longer to ramp up and to organize. Fays got a long way to go
True, but then Charley did have a fast forward motion whereas it appears form the track prediction that Fay will be moving forward much more slowly. Could that not give her more time to suck up energy and rotate faster (maybe become more compact, smaller in size?)?
