max sustained winds 155 it might as well be a cat 5
That 2 mph isn't much of a difference.

I'm hoping, for my sake, that being about 20 miles inland from the gulf (I live a mile from the Peace River at the start of Charlotte Harbor) that the interaction it has with the bits of land between me and the gulf slow down the winds a little bit before it reaches my house full on.

I rode out a 5 and that changed my whole outlook on hurricanes.
I was scheduled to be in west Panama City Beach 4 years ago when it hit.

The only tropical weather I've ever been in was tropical storm Alberto in 1994...also in Panama City Beach. If i recall correctly it was a record rainfall for that area from that storm and i was blocked in the hotel from flood water. I couldn't imagine being in a Cat. 5 🌀.

Man...spoke to some friends who live in Cape Coral (where I grew up)...and they said it's gonna be bad. After Culinary School, I apprenticed and Chefed on Captiva Island, and could be Catastrophic to both Captiva and Sanibel....
My dept. manager owns a house on a canal in Cape Coral. Not sure how far from the main water, but we've been watching live cams all morning. Not looking good.
