?Georges was a Cat 5 for awhile before it ran into the islands. It is believable water is plenty warm.

No it wasn't. It never made it to cat 5 strength.

It does give concern as in the last frame the UKMET and most other models indicate another ridge dropping down over the NE CONUS just as Frances nears the 65W. If this track verified the eventual threat would be from Florida to the Carolinas with nothing seen at this time to substantially weaken her.

C5c You might be right I thought right before it moved into the islands it was a cat. From now on before I say something like that i will check the references which I will now.
