If this thing makes landfall on the southern tip of FL and then goes mostly straight north, it could go up a quarter of the state before going over a single population center (Belle Glade, Pahokee, etc.) and then more than half of the state before hitting a city (Orlando). By that time the eye would have collapsed. Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Naples would still feel it, but it would be far from catastrophic.
Fair point.
What up with NC declaring emergency in every county? Very pussy! They should be positioning assets to help whoever gets wrecked. That state went to shit when I left, what with the bathroom and the nervous and all.
Sucks for Houston victims
