something else to consider

cat 4 or 5...but look at the tremendous size of this storm...!

with an eyewall that large, and wind speeds of 160 +

People here at the dealership are quiet and making phone calls...making plans..

I remember Opal...a cat 5 close to Mobile..then veered toward Pensacola, and came in as a cat 2...

However, Opal developed in the Bay of Campeche..and wasn't the size and overall strong structure this storm is...
