the eye was only about 5 miles wide so if you were in the eye then you were one of a very few to experience a daytime CAT 4 eye. According the the NHC the winds at landfall were near 130 knots. That's about 150 mph.

yes it is the corner of Olympia and Hwy. 41.

Hurricane Charley was the meanest storm I've been in no doubt about it. NHC write up on Charley had the winds near 150 mph at landfall. Stronger than even Katrina.

I was there right after the storm, it looked like a bomb went off

@photog481 Katrina wasnt strong because of her wind speed, it was her size and the amount of Storm Surge she produced.
