TS winds are coming in about an hour. The evacuation order starts at 8. People will be clogging the streets when this hits in about 12-15 hours. Especially with a Cat 3 or 4, this is NOT good. I still have shutters to put on, and I need to hurry.

Good luck Scorpion, and please hurry. Handling boards after the wind picks up can be a bit frustrating.

It's not a cat 3 yet--not at the 8 AM update.

But all indications are that it can--and will--become one. Good news is per another post below, the pressures down only a tiny bit in the latest recon. Not dropping fast, which would be bad.

I happen to think it's a matter of semantics..105 Miles an hour is pretty darn strong, but we don't get REALLY excited until it's 110?!
