Some are trying to upgrade it to a Cat 5. They are saying a 173 mph gust in Punta Gorda, and a 180 mph gust at Charlotte County Medical Center should make it a Cat 5.
Well, Charley hit the area around Charlotte County Medical Center at 150 mph...so gusts up to 180 mph are expected.
It then hit Punta Gorda at 145 mph, so gusts to 175 mph are expected, therefore, a 173 mph gust makes sense.
By the way...there was 6 mph difference. Charley was not 155 mph, it was 150 mph.
