Katrina had a perfect oppurtunity with 175mph winds and 12 hours till landfall and it just fell apart at the finish line. If we can get a 200mph hurricane 6 hours prior to landfall then surely it could withstand the rapid weakening that will occur. I'm not wishing a cat 5 on anyone, but people just have a careless attitude about hurricanes and we need a wakeup call. Katrina was the warning shot. I have my sights on Isaac. I'm thinking he will come with hell, fire, and brimstone.
I really hope you do not mean that! Katrina, Rita, Wilma were enough of a wake up call. To wish for a cat 5 as a wake-up call is to wish for major destruction and many deaths and losses. I for one, hope this does not happen. Why would you hope for this? You say you are not wishing a cat 5 on anyone, but that is exactly what you are doing. Think! Each person this affects is someones mother, father, brother, sister..... and then the tax $$$$ that will be needed to pick up the pieces............
