What were the previous 2's class?

Well, Frances was a class 4, but weakened before it made landfall and I believe ended up hitting as a class 2. But it was huge and the hurricane force winds were spread in something like an 185 mile radius...which is just amazing.
Charley hit as a class 3, but was also a class 4 at one time. However, it was a much smaller hurricane so the hurricane force winds weren't over such a widespread area.
Hopefully this one will calm down before it makes landfall as well.
My sister lives in Orlando...they got hammered pretty good by Charley, but Frances didn't do a whole lot around them. I hope they can avoid Ivan alotgether.
