The tide will be high at landfall, btw. Add 1.5 feet to storm surges.

I think he already is. But "weak" Cat 5 is a slight possibility.

"weak cat 5" isnt that an oxymoron? :P


Hence the quotation marks.

Weak meaning "barely a Cat 5" as opposed to "weak storm".

I really haven't been following the NHC forcasts with this storm, but if they were calling for a noticeably weakened storm hitting the coast, then they should be ashamed. You can't call these Gulf storms for sure, especially with this storm, but to not anticipate possible big-time strengthening (as the NHC did with Charley) is a huge mistake.
