I'm amazed at this hurricane. I just hope everyone down there took the necessary precautions and is safe. It was only 60 mph earlier today and it appears to be much more intense than alot of people thought it would be at landfall.

Peas N Rice.. that's alot of people. :uarrow:

As slow as this thing is moving, it's going to take much longer to restore the power.

Hopefully alot of people down there have invested in generators after last season.

Jim Cantore was just on the phone on TWC from Fort Lauderdale and says it's the strongest Category 1 he's seen... mentioned maybe a 2 on re-analysis.
