I hope you're right but it's wayyyyy too early to tell. Won't get a good assessment til Fri or Sat.

It could still go farther north toward Tampa/Clearwater or head south past the tip of Fla and into the Bahamas and out to sea. We just don't know yet. Since it hit Cat 5 at NIGHT that means the waters are still warm enough to fuel it and that's fucking scary.
