Hurricane Charley
Hurricane Charley made landfall at Cayo Costa, a barrier island just west of Cape Coral, as a Category 4 storm at approximately 3:45 PM EDT on Friday, 13 August 2004. Winds were estimated at 145 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 941 millibars. At 4:35 PM EDT, wind gusts of 111 mph 97 knots) were measured at the Punta Gorda Airport before equipment failure; minimum pressure measured at the same location was 28.47 inches (~964.1 millibars). A 7-foot storm surge was recorded in Fort Myers at 3:45 PM EDT, around the time of landfall. In the Naples area, the maximum storm tide (the combination of normal tide level plus storm surge) was about 10 to 11 feet above mean sea level. The worst storm tide was north of Naples from Vanderbilt Beach to the Lee County line. In this area, the maximum storm tide was about 10 to 13 feet above mean sea level. Charley continued its track northeast across DeSoto, Hardee, Polk, and Osceola counties. At approximately 9:15 PM EDT, the eye of the storm was centered at Kissimmee, over northern Osceola County. Charley then moved over the Orlando area between 8:45 PM and 9:30 PM EDT. Orlando International Airport reported a gust to near 105 mph at 9:15 PM EDT, with sustained winds anywhere from 60-70 mph. By 10:09 PM EDT, the Sanford airport just northeast of Orlando was gusting to 92 mph. The circulation center of Hurricane Charley passed over the coast near Daytona Beach at approximately 11:30 PM EDT. At 11:25 PM EDT, the Daytona Beach Airport observed 69 mph sustained winds, with an 83 mph gust. Charley emerged off the Volusia County coast and back into the Atlantic just northeast of Daytona around 1:00 AM EDT on Saturday, 14 August. By 2:00 AM EDT, the center was over the Atlantic about 45 miles north-northeast of Daytona Beach, with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph and a minimum central pressure of 993 millibars. Charley was racing toward the north-northeast at 25 mph. Charley took approximately nine hours to traverse the Florida peninsula. It was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the state since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Just under 36 hours prior to Charley's landfall, Tropical Storm Bonnie struck the Florida Panhandle near Apalachicola. Not since 1906 have two storms struck the state of Florida so close together. River Flood Warnings were in effect for numerous rivers across west central Florida.
