So it appears that the growing consensus is that it should/could be a Cat 1 at landfall (over my house) in Florida. Hmm. Any outside chance of it being stronger? The water temps are sure there for her to intensify.

NHC isn't saying Anything about a Hurricane Landfall.

50 KT... 25NE 20SE 20SW 20NW.
34 KT... 70NE 60SE 60SW 60NW.

.AT LEAST STEADY INTENSIFICATION APPEARS TO BE IN ORDER. IF
CENTRAL CONVECTION DEVELOPS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS...THEN THIS
SYSTEM COULD REACH HURRICANE STRENGTH BEFORE IT MAKES LANDFALL.
