remember OPAL?

I remember her. It went from Nuttin...to a category 5 hurricane....same area...same path...somewhat. When it finally landed, it veered away from Mobile, and came into Pensacola as a category 3. There we were...thinking that evening late we would get nailed with a 5...and the next day we barely felt the effects...as it went inland 70 miles to the east of us....from uh-oh to nuttin...

This one is gonna suck all the energy from the front...and get big...quick.. it hasn't wrapped heavy convection around it..but is sure getting it's act together quick...
