Category 5 is my bet when it comes ashore. I hope it weakens, but chances are with that warm water it won't. Better to error on the side of caution on this one and get out ! Brick houses were totally destroyed during category 5 Andrew with gusts over 235 mph, it's not worth taking the chance.

It has the rest of today, all of Wednesday and most of Thursday to strengthen over very warm water. The experts are saying that we may need a new category 6 to describe this storm so it could very well land as a cat 5.
