Forcast advisory is predicting 100kt (115mph) intensity, or Cat 3, before landfall:

There's absolutely nothing out there that should prevent this storm from becoming a major hurricane, maybe even a Cat 4.

Crossing Florida as quickly as it did barely phased her and she should quickly intensify. The NHC this morning was indicating a Cat 1 or Cat 2 storm at landfall near Panama City. That's too far east and too weak, in my opinion.

Of course, they're paid professionals and I'm an unpaid amateur, but I don't think this story has a happy ending.
