Jim Cantore recently said that 35% of the Islands residents/ tourists had evacuated. Apparently the 70% that stayed behing forgot about last year's rapid spin up Storm.
Dolly is doing almost the same thing... Max poss wind speed from the pressure-wind relationship is 108 MPH.
I don't think she will reach 108 MPH, but I she wasn't expected to reach 95 MPH either.
