## Screenshot

None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in [addresses.json](../addresses.json) (capture: only if its terms allow: otherwise the link). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.

## What it shows, and how

Long explainer (published 21:14Z, changed 23:15Z) comparing Charles with storm Kristin; two embedded animated gust maps from Ventusky, one per model (GFS and ECMWF).

Forms: `explainer`, `embed`, `maps`, `models`.

## What it does best

Two models side by side as the picture of uncertainty; the comparison with the last big storm.

## What we take from it

A "Charles against the last storm" table from IPMA's published figures.

## Data and models it says it uses

Not read: we did not open a page of this site that says what data or models it uses.

Where its data comes from, traced: [the lineage of this site](../../../meteorology/nodes/site-sc-observador-especial.md) (kept by incident.meteorology@).
