Quote: To me, a novice, this storm [center] looks tight and compact like Charley, so why would the TS winds extend out to 230mi.? Charley passed about 30/40 miles to the east of me and we barely got a whisp of wind.
charley was pretty small, but strong in the center. if a hurricane is moving due north being west of the storm the winds are the lightest as the circulation is going the opposite direction of the forward speed. check this to compare sizes.
