[edit] Charley

Let me clarify that edit summary I made about Charley not being the "worst to hit the US since Andrew". We don't know exactly how much damage it did, so we can't compare it properly to other extremely damaging US storms since Andrew, like Opal, Fran, Georges, Floyd, and Isabel. It is, however, blatantly clear that it's worse than anything to hit Florida since Andrew. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:34, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I submit an error in fact. The article states that the median age is 64 years. For that to be true, there would have to a a resident of the city of age 128, since median means the midpoint between the oldest age and the youngest--and that assumes that there is or was a newborn in the city. I submit that the proper term is mean, meaning average. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.215.23 (talk • contribs)

Median means half the people are younger and half the people are older. You are thinking of the Midrange value. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.115.124.210 (talk) 18:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Storm damage can be calculated and measured by costs. While the economic value of the damage is only one perspective of such a disaster, it often has a source to support its claims. (Yapidka (talk) 17:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC))
