I know this would be bad because it would speed up landfall time.. But I wish she'd accelerate.. even if it were just a little bit. The fact that she's just creeping along is making me worry that she'll explode right before she makes landfall...

They probably want to get more info before they raise the winds.

That's a huge area in a densely populated part of the country. Very scary indeed!

It pretty normal for the winds to lag behind the pressure drop but hours. I agree with the waiting for recon confirmation. :-0
