You folks are drifting away from topic - lets refocus on the storm. A forecast of 115 knots would indeed be a category IV. Remember that on this site if you are critical of someone else's forecast - I expect to see you post your rationale - and follow that up with your own forecast and the reasons for it. If its just a gut hunch (and I have those too from time to time) put your post in the Forecast Forum, but don't put it here. Don't be critical of other posters simply because you don't care for what they say. That doesn't hack it here. Weather Forecasting is a long way from being a full-up science, so lets put an end to the Monday Morning quarterbacking.
