4. Yeah, it looks like it missed its chance to curve out to sea
that would have been too good to be true.

5. It's not listed as a depression yet
I hope it's just garden-variety convection, for Florida's sake.

7. I believe Cat 5 is 155 mph/135 knots
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 01:39 AM by chair094
It's not a Cat 5 yet, but it's forecast to become one.

Edit: I checked out your link and it looks like the recon plane sent its data prematurely--they found max sustained winds of 160 mph. That WOULD make it Cat. 5.:scared:
