    At 155+ this is just shy of Cat 5. You do not want any part of this one. Records going back to 1851 do not possess a storm of this nature at landfall. However we did have some big storms in the past. But not the florida panhandle.

    Exactly. That part of the Gulf Coast has NEVER been hit with a tropical cyclone higher than Category 3 until now.
    People get complacent during these storms. Complacency like that is what gets people killed-ask anyone who went through Katrina. The official death toll from that storm was 1,836. The true death toll will never be known because there was so many people killed that literally LOST COUNT!!

    That Eye is on a direct path for Atlanta.

    With those nuts I wouldnt be surprised to see mass lootings, riots etc...

    Plus a blame on Trump for 'causing' this Storm.
