Perhaps we are about to witness a historic event.... one of those watersheds like 9/11, the Challenger, or Kenndy Assassination. While those happened suddely, this is one that will just build over time. Like someone posted, like witnessing a train wreck about to happen and not be able to do anything but watch.
its possible....one saving grace is that when coming from the south there is a buffer of land....although marshy...and hurricanes weaken rapidly after landfall....so it would really take a cat 5 to do the catastrophic damage that is theorized...
latest recon:
948mb...the weakening has leveled. winds still well below what the pressure would indicate.
Unfortunately, you evacuated right into Charle's path.
