This is a whopper of a storm! If it's still a Cat 4 or 5 by tomorrow night I'm hitting the road.

That is the first time i can ever remember actually being able to see the hurricane symbol in the center as well.
Some other tidbits i have been reading that don't make me feel to good:
"It was also expected to move across the peninsula quickly, which means it wouldn't weaken much over land, Cobb said. That means it's possible Atlantic coast cities such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach could also be hit by winds nearly as strong as the west coast, he said.
The tightlly packed system, with hurricane-force winds extend only 15 miles out from the eye, was projected to accelerate toward Florida's Gulf Coast and strike near Naples by Saturday evening, potentially as a Category 4 with 145 mph winds after it weakens a bit."
Please let this girl get the cat 4 and 5 out of her system and hit florida at a much decreased rate.
