Re: Category 5 Dean?

The models are having a heck of a time but kudos to the NHC for being as accurate as it has been.

I hope the islanders have prepared accordingly- but I see no reason to think this storm can go the way of Katrina. It does appear that the area of concern down the road has got to be from Mexico to Texas. I mean, the speed of this thing is awesome. I would not have believed that crusing at 23 MPH would allow Dean to whip up to 100MPH winds.
