Hurricane Charley is a small hurricane that started of the heel of a huge tropical typhoon called "Bonnie". Its path consisted of Jamaica, killing one person, Cuba, killing four people, the Captiva Islands, (but not really doing much) and finally Florida costing 40 million dollars. It is the 5th most expensive storm to ever hit America.
Hurricane Charley caused an estimated $16.9 billion in damage when it struck Florida in 2004, making it one of the most destructive hurricanes in U.S. history at the time. It is associated with at least 35 direct fatalities in the United States.

Hurricane Katrina: Generated in the Bahamas and traveled across southern Florida, causing some flooding. Then, it moved towards the Gulf of Mexico, causing severe damage. About 80% of New Orleans was destroyed. Hurricane Charley: Generated in a weeks time, this hurricane got up to speeds of 150mph. Charley hit mostly the Caribbean Islands. But, also headed towards Florida, destroying homes, property and killing many. Hurricane Hugo: Developed from groups of thunderstorms from the African Coast. Traveled to the Atlantic Ocean, speeds up to 120 mph. In the end, it also covered Puerto Rico and South Carolina.
Yes, the size of a hurricane can be related to its intensity, but intensity is primarily measured by the storm's maximum sustained wind speed, central pressure, and potential for storm surge, not just its physical size. A larger hurricane may have a wider area of impact, affecting more people and causing more damage, but a smaller hurricane with very high wind speeds can be equally or even more intense in terms of destructive power.
