Agreed- but OTOH- Katrina was a cat 5 for awhile too before it backed off to a 4- though it seems parts of MS may have been hit with Cat5 winds. We still have two days before landfall too..if there's an reforming of the eyewall it may waver for a minute:)
I'm beginning to think this storm has free reign to do whatever it wants. No wind shear, warm water... Nothing holding it back and nothing standing in its way. She unleashed herself the minute she crossed the threshold to Cat 1.
