Quote: It's a crapshoot at this time on ultimate intensity/landfall location. Given the environmental conditions present in the eastern GOMEX, rapid intensification on approach to land is probably a given.
I agree that rapid intensification is likely.
I've seen in the various 9/22/2024 models projecting landfalls anywhere from Destin in the panhandle down to Cedar key. A possible Cat 3 hitting the big bend area of Florida would cause a lot of problems.
