It wasn’t a direct hit and it wasn’t a CAT 5.

The media sucks.

“It wasn’t a direct hit and it wasn’t a CAT 5.

Everything I read said it would be cat 4 at Jamaica, not cat 5. And that’s what it was as it passed just south after a last-minute wobble. Neither the Hurricane Center nor the media can predict a wobble (still has some cat 4 winds). Are you saying you would have been happier if it HAD been a cat 5 direct hit? Or should the media have played it down like it was a mild thunderstorm? Of course if they had done that and it had been a direct hit, you would now be jumping all over them not warning people.
