Gawd ..nn .. this is horrendous .. the size and the predicted path.... the mb at 945. Holy God .. I just pray all are safe in her path. I know it's early, but is it looking to come in south of Sarasota again?
This won't be as intense as Charlie if it hits south of Sarasota, since the Gulf water temps are now cooler, some 10 degrees cooler than when Katrina moved through. All the Cat4-5 talk is media hype as far as the US is concerned, this storm will not be any more than a weak Cat-3 at landfall, with a tiny eye IMHO.
