Look at the size of Ivan compared to Charley at landfall. Can ya'll imagine if Charley had been that large with the same intensity? :crazyeyes:

I've contemplated the thought that Charley could have been as large as Ivan and at the same "meaness" as he was.

The thought sends shivers down my spine, because I'd likely be an orphan right now (Charley's eye passed right over my parents home).

That was really cool. I am printing it to add to the scrapbook I am doing for the hurricanes that hit us.

History you know.

It was the very fact of Charley's small size that allowed him to intensify that quickly that close to land in reaction to baroclinic enhancement.

Great graphics but I would like to add that while Charlie might have had winds stronger at US landfall the destruction of Ivan and Jeanne was far and is worst.

IVAN was HUGE!!!! Perfect storm at landfall. Need to do one with the storms in comparison to Ohio and when they came across us and how much rainfall we got. That would be cool.
