Re: Saffir Simpson scale question
Fri Jun 03 2005 08:21 AM

Excellent Clark, you answered some other questions I had as well. Would anyone here know exactly what the 1960's building codes were (in Florida)?

What prompted me to make this thread was the fact that most people here and in Port Charlotte erroneously think that they went through a CAT 5 with Charley, forcing them to conclude that they can successfully ride out any other storm with little difficulty or preparation. This is a product of a misunderstanding (as you said) of the scale itself, which, in this case, is facilitating a very bad mindset.

cheers
