Re: Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches issued for parts of Florida

Raw Dvorak T#s for Michael are around 5.7 which is usually a mid-high end cat 3 storm. I think it's indicating here more a rapid blowup than a sustained cat 3, however ,this is pretty concerning to see.

Adjusted is 3.4, which is more reasonable for the intensity, but it does show the rapid intensification going on.
