Its back to a Cat 3 from what I understand and they are saying its strengthening more. Possibly a strong 3 or even a 4 by landfall. Storm track hasn't changed much and it still looks to be heading towards the AL/FL line.
I hope we stay on the West, I feel bad for P'Cola though... None of us need this one.
I'm posting from Tuscaloosa now, should be far enough north to keep the brunt of the wind off us(even though we'll get alot of wind never the less) and flooding isn't a problem in our particular area. We are expecting to lose power, but I'll post while I can.
We're already getting bands(as of about an hour ago), rainy, windy, but nothing too serious yet.
Rick Murchison:Looks like Cuba took some energy out that won't be recovered, so maybe we're looking at a Cat 2 vice 4 - which makes a HUGE difference. Also, for me and BugMan, looks like our places will be on the low-water side of the eye... good for us but sucks for y'all in P'cola and Destin/FWB.
