I think you guys need to look at the pressure before ruling out a cat 4, IMO it looks likely now.

I'm not ruling out a Cat 4, I'm just saying that it is unlikely.

With a hurricane, nothing can be ruled out. That's what's so fun about them. :roll:

Cat 4. Maybe a higher Cat 4 too if this explosive deepening continues.

before emily got to the yucatan peninnsula i didn't doubt that this would happen but when it got off shore an it stayed a cat 1 for so long i started having my doubts i think emily might have turned into a big andrew (just i don't think it will as strong as andrew was

plus if emily becomes a cat 5 and makes landfall it might break a record i think and it will be the first of maybe a couple cat 5 storms this season


we might get

Cat 1: 1-2
Cat 2: 2-3
Cat 3: 4-6
Cat 4: 2-4
Cat 5: 1-3

that is what i think might happen
