The climate folks are breathless at the thought of a Cat 5.

Every look at the summaries for all these hurricanes. It was amusing...for example...highest winds Cat 4 - lasted 3 minutes...reduced to 2 in 16 minutes.

Erin is a pretty well developed storm. 160 mph SUSTAINED winds. That’s Cat 5. 915 MB pressure is pretty darned stong too.

She’s a beauty. Great way to kick of the real hurricane season.

Brevard county friends only have one thing to say about Erin:
"SURFS UP"..
