Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

130-140 mph seems a safe bet to me so far. She may deal with some shear and dry air during her track. 140-150 also could be reasonable

Lol I voted for a Cat 5, but realistically a Felix '95/Edouard '96 sounds like a good analog

Went with 130-140. I feel like something similar in intensity and wind speed to Teddy (2020) is a fairly likely outcome. I think the ceiling could be higher though if Erin ends up tracking further SW than currently forecast however.

Went with 115-125mph which may end up being a little conservative. Will probably only see gradual strengthening until around 60W or so
