Probably fake news is my guess.

Yeah, I'm sure the trooper has nothing better to do than stage a fake rescue video for internet points.

Dry air is the devil.

Yeah I see a bunch with the diagram showing it going back to Cat4 before landfall.. There is ZERO chance at this point.

It will make landfall as a Cat 3, and a LOW end cat3 at that. We lucked out, had the dry air and sheer not existed could have been really bad.

I have to be missing something.

Hasn't it always been always known that it was going to rapidly strengthen to a CAT 5 then as it approached land weaken to a CAT 3/4? I mean I've known it for at least 5 days - does that mean I'm in the "know"?

Not much worry at all unless they get over like 8-10 feet. At that point they’ll eat anything.

Otherwise the only worry is for small children, elderly and animals.

Wow, that is some next level ****ed up shit.

I have more respect for the assholes who drop their dogs off in a rural area when they don’t want them.. and I don’t have any respect for those assholes either.

No chance it intensifies before land fall. Too much upper level shear and dry air it’s pulling in.

It might not even be a 3 at land fall. It’s already dropped against in the last 30 minutes.

It’s gonna be a mess with stuff. But the shear media driven panic is so pathetic. Crying wolf all the time is dangerously misinformation.

I mean yes, the possibility of it weakening was always there. Hence why the weather forecasters crying on live tv was crazy.

But it was never 100%

I remember living on eglin AFB when opal as a 3 hit. It was wild. But we survived.

It's definitely weakening with 120mph winds. It won't really help those on the coast, but hopefully it'll minimize the damage inland

This isn’t a once in a life time hurricane. jFC Fox News. Drama misinformation much?

It's close enough that it's still going to have high end CAT 4 storm surge which is where a ton of the issues come from. Exact same thing happened with Katrina as it came in as a 3 as well but had the heavy storm surge as it weakened as it came in.
