But I highly doubt prayer was the causal factor here. Shear picked up, dry air became entrained in the circulation, and the sst's cooled as she approached. Also, highly doubtful the 145 mph was ever accurate...was probably more like 120 at the surface, at the most, as evidenced by the readings from the central gulf buoy. A lot of intensity hype with this one....it wasn't her fault, lol.

As for the prayer part, well....the prime being sure must have it in for South Florida then. Either that or no one thought to pray during Andrew...
