That was sick, dude!! Being in Charley was like being in an EF4 tornado. If Hurricane Ike would have hit Houston with winds this intense, just imagine how the potential damage would have compared to New Orleans after Katrina!!

amazing that palm trees brace hurricanes better than structures. they're like lil titans made to ride out the storms and grow coconuts

I live right next to Daytona Beach FL, right on the beach and my family decided to ride it out at home. One of the coolest experiences ever, especially being so close to the beach.

@TheBeastFrom941 That was definitely hit hard, I was there too, I was lucky roof held up, my buddy wasn't so fortunate helped him tear it all out and start over. He only made a down payment for his insurance and house and then Charlie hit, finally someone gets the insurance company. The whole landscape and skyline was forever changed.

This hurricane happened 6 years ago yesterday (8/13/10). Ironically enough, yesterday was Friday the 13th, as was the day Charley hit.

Wikipedia: (Hurricane Charley was the second major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.) (...peaking as a 150 mph (240 km/h) Category 4 hurricane. The hurricane made landfall in southwestern Florida at peak intensity, the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew) (Unofficially, the Charlotte County Medical Center recorded a peak wind gust of 172 mph (277 km/h).)
Winds at the end of the video were probably near 170.

hard to imagine stronger winds than that. i would think that if you stood out in that you'd get blown down the street. well thats as close as i ever wanna get to something like that!
