The article says: "This made 2004 the first year two named storms have struck the same state in the same 24-hour period since 1906. Mainland landfall occurred only 29 hours apart." But storm names hadn't begun in 1906. Nationalparks 04:29, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Good article. But a few more things are needed:

I have nominated Hurricane Charley for Featured Article consideration. I personally think it is ready for at least GA-class recognition. The GA nomination process suggests using the FA nomination process instead for a closer scrutiny, so I decided to take that route. The goal is A-class or GA-class recognition, though if it does end up a Featured Article, it could pass in time to potentially be inserted as the August 13 FAotD (pending additional approval by the FAotD czar -- I am aware he has a schedule of FAotD articles). --

Could you wait a bit before FAC'ing it? I am in the long process of remaking the article from scratch, and only have the rest of Florida and aftermath to do. If anyone wants, they can help, but I don't think it's FA worthy as it is (not quite). Hurricanehink ( talk) 18:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I read this article because it has been nominated for GA, suggest that you take the time to read WP:MOSNUM#Units_of_measurement and apply to the article. Gnangarra 09:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Rated based on 7 criteria:
The only thing that I have a problem with is per above, the use of only mph. However, I don't think that that's enough to deny it GA status, and also, I'll go thorugh and add it myself, rather than waiting for someone else to do it. Good job! I recommend running through it a bit more, and resubmiting it to FAC. -- PresN 16:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Should I remove what it says in the intro about Charley being a Cape Verde type hurriane? Charley formed no where near the CV is. →Cyclone 1→ 02:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
These should be included in the article. Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The morning that Charley hit Florida I was working at a TV station in Orlando and watching a weather report from WFTX in Ft. Myers. I don't remember the forecaster's name but he said at around 6am that he thought Charley would go up through the middle of Florida and hit Orlando. I'll find his name and post it here. He deserves to be know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.143.220 ( talk) 14:08, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
“ | Other Florida school systems were also severely disrupted: Orange County Public Schools opened their doors on August 9, 2004, only to close them on August 12 as Charley approached from the southwest. Damage was so extensive that schools remained closed to students until August 24, only to close again after Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne menaced the same areas. The storm resulted in several non-federal built-in holidays being canceled, and the tradition of releasing students one hour early on Wednesday being canceled for the rest of the year to make up for over two weeks of lost class time. citation needed | ” |
Do we need that? I can't find a reference for it, and there is a lot of useful school damage information here... so what does everyone think? Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 04:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
The Florida impact section needs to be expanded. More information on the impact on homes in coastal Lee and Charlotte counties, more information on the impact on citrus growing and inland areas, and additional related information may be needed, given how notable this storm is. CapeVerdeWave 11:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Also needs more info in the aftermath section. Juliancolton 01:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Is Hurricane Charley the only major hurricane to have struck the US on Friday the 13th? -- E. Brown 06:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
where do you find so much information from, Hurricanehink? Juliancolton 01:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
A possible FAC with a little more work? Juliancolton 01:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006.
Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. There is talk above of bringing the article up to FA, and I think it could definitely reach it with some more effort. Be sure to add an inline citation for "Trailer parks were obliterated as far as Orlando, and trees and utility poles were downed as far as Daytona Beach.[citation needed]".
It would be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have added an article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 03:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
From an article I just found:
Whatch'all think? Not worth putting in the article yet, but could be interesting in the future. The reason the damage was so much less than Andrew was because of the much smaller eye - the smallest ever to make landfall, only 5 miles wide. -- Golbez 18:49, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
Hurricane Charley and the 1893 Charleston Hurricane are the only hurricanes to make landfall in the United States on Friday the 13th since 1850. I've checked them all as part of research for my personal hurricane database using the perpetual calendar. Also, both made landfall at major hurricane intensity (Charley still being the strongest wind wise since Andrew). May not be worthy of inclusion in the article, but I thought it was interesting. I'll let you guys decide. -- Hurricane ERIC - Class of '08: XVII Maius MMVIII 04:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
I notice the text speaks of the hurricane passing "directly over" such-and-such a place, when it seems to mean that the eye or eye-wall passed over it. That may be confusing to some, as NOAA defines "Direct hit" as:
A close approach of a tropical cyclone to a particular location. For locations on the left-hand side of a tropical cyclone's track (looking in the direction of motion), a direct hit occurs when the cyclone passes to within a distance equal to the cyclone's radius of maximum wind. For locations on the right-hand side of the track, a direct hit occurs when the cyclone passes to within a distance equal to twice the radius of maximum wind. Compare indirect hit, strike.
Just an observation after I reverted an edit that said that Charley passed directly over Sanibel Island. -- Donald Albury 19:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
I have an idea, but does anyone know why it was called the "Interstate 4 Hurricane", because that's what lead me here from the Interstate 4 page. Mes tex ( talk) 14:28, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Effects of Hurricane Charley from FEMA Photo Library 7.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 13, 2011.

If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 21:07, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, all.
The "Florida" section of this article ends with the paragraph that begins thus:
Yet, at the linked article about oranges, the " Production" section has a table of orange production in 2014, which shows the entire United States (not just Florida) ranking behind India and China and Brazil, in millions of tonnes. In fact, the entire American figure, 6.1, is not even a fifth of the total from the three other countries (16.9 + 7.8 + 7.3 = 32). And, of course, the Floridian figure must be smaller than that of the whole U.S.
I recognize that things may have been different in 2004, ten years before the date of the table; but should this article really describe Florida as "the second-largest producer of oranges in the world"?
