Man, that Charley map is underestimated for sure based upon damage, particularly right along and just north of Charlotte Harbor.
-
You also realize what the word "preliminary" means, right?
-
This is where I bring up the argument of looking at Michael's wind damage at 155mph at Tyndall AFB and Mexico Beach versus Camille's at an alleged 175mph Pass Christian. You can't tell me Michael's wind damage isn't worse than Camille's, by a healthy margin.

I love a good troll that can't accept video evidence of wind speed and can be compared to Charley and look nearly exactly the same.
-
Any naysayer of category 4 winds in Mexico Beach, here's 100% proof.
-
Slash Pines are quite flexible and this shows these were very healthy, perfectly matured trees with no interior structural problems to allow them to flex until they were pushed to the ground. This is indicative of extremely intense winds over 120mph where these did not snap with explosive gusts. Impressive.

Here's some solid category 4 winds caught on tape at the main gate to Tyndall AFB. I've been there many times and it is completely gone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iNZdEsDA6g

That area is a couple miles from St. Andrews Bay and substantial elevation, so there was no surge here.
-
That's literally 1/4 mile up Thomas Drive from where my parents have a place in Venture Out. It's easy to say sustained winds here are solid cat-3 with very intense gusts.
-
Those are actually either Slash Pine or Longleaf Pine. Australian Pine can not live in the Panhandle because of the colder temps.

Port St. Joe, the county seat of Gulf County.
-
A lot of damage in the Grand Lagoon area on the far east end.
-
There is a tremendous amount of damage on the far east end of Panama City Beach, that is technically unincorporated Bay County. A marina with large boat storage buildings, with one totally collapsed and another partially.
-
Going with Tyndall AFB at 125mph.

Man, that satellite presentation is getting better and better every 20-30 minutes, and we're just starting to get into the diurnal spike.
