Hurricane Charley is about to rip up Central Florida. It is a category 4 hurricane with 145 MPH sustained winds and a pressure of 954 millibars. For comparision, Hurricane Fran was 954 millibars when it came ashore. Once it’s had its way with Central Florida, Charley could potentially hop into the Atlantic and bulldoze Myrtle Beach.
This is going to be a very destructive, very expensive storm.
