OMG!!! Right over my house.
Thanks soo much mags...so crazy at work no time to check anything on storm...lots of stressed people.
Appreciate it:)
I keep reading the Irma is a CAT 5 storm, but none of the posted wind speeds come close to the CAT threshold for a CAT 5, which requires sustained winds of at least 156 mph. Irma is still a major hurricane, but has it actually made landfall any place as a CAT 5?
