Re: 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...
That's a thing, water can pile up in areas like Florida's Big Bend but that's not what I mean. If you go here zoom a bit on Florida, and click Cat 1 vs. Cat 4 or 5 and you'll see the difference. SE Florida has higher ground than the west coast. Move up to South Carolina and you'll see why it's called the low country.
On the two Cat 4's in one season hitting the mainland... 2004 season Florida was hit with 4 major hurricanes. A 5, two 4's and a strong 3 all hit the state as a 4 and three very strong 3's. Massive damage all over. Will have to wait and see if Irma hits and what the strength is.
Most all meteorologists down here are saying essentially what Scott K was, not because Miami is in panic, but because the whole state is still under the gun. Still not sure if it will go east or stretch west. Speed and time of the turn are everything. I'm on the West coast and much less than 200 miles to Miami. Still can easily run over my house.
Really amazing Irma is still at a Cat 5.
