This storm will very likely rival, if not be stronger, than the likes of some of the all-time great Fl storms. It will come in from the Bahamas where it should remain powerful, if not even grow in intensity. It will be larger than Andrew or Charley which were both smallish in size. It will be on the order of the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 or the Lake Okeechobee Hurricane or 1928 or even stronger. In any case it will be up there with some of the most infamous storms of all time, and has the potential to be the worse.
That's the definition of pure, unjustified hype.
Its perhaps too early to say that, but when multiple models are
A: showing a 4/5 type hurricane in the Bahamas and
B: showing a real close call for some parts of Florida in many runs now
I wouldn't say its totally unjustified...
I personally think its more a risk upshore to SC/NC BUT it WILL be a powerful system, I think almost certain to be a major hurricane (I know NHC does not show this, but they've been dreadful with this ones intensity...)
