Getting Concerned

I wasn't overyly concerned about Ophelia until today. To me, being the novice weather watcher that I am, would think that the longer she stays over open water, the stronger she's going to get. Can someone dampen my fear a little bit that she's not going to strengthen TOO MUCH? Charley, Frances and Jeanne scared the you know what out of me last year and we're 50 miles inland, pretty much due east of the Cape. We lost our roof between Francis and Jeanne. I really don't want to have to experience that again. Is there any reason she won't strengthen past a Cat 1? Please tell me there is...........
