I remember that just as it was coming ashore this afternoon, you were discussing the fact that the barometer had fallen again.

The storm deepened just as fast as I have ever seen one deepen. I strongly believe it was actually a Cat 5 at landfall. I expect to hear some bad things in the morning about the regions most affected.

Every model is east tonight with the track of the storm. It looks like it will still make secondary landfall somewhere near or north of the NC/SC border.

From that point, it's a tough call.

I would imagine it might re-emerge off the coast of Virginia and could pose a threat to Long Island or Cape Cod. The NHC has the track staying inland and the storm up near CT by late tomorrow evening. BUT, Charley has been consistently east of the NHC track thus far which is why I believe it may end up affecting Long Island-Cape Cod before exiting out to sea.

What's YOUR opinion about the possible effect on coastal Georgia? (and should I take a nap now or later?)

I strongly believe it was actually a Cat 5 at landfall.

I remember you saying that!
