Nice coverage.

[@Ghost_PM11]

This is good advice, true wind will cause a lot of damage, but it's the storm surge and floodings that kill people.

[@newsbuster292]

It has been downgraded to Cat. 3, still very strong though. Tomorrow will be crucial in how bad it will be when this thing makes landfall. Could be Cat. 2 (best case scenario), could also be back up to Cat. 4. Flooding will be a big issue no matter what.

[@krystaldaniels7940]

Yep, it's a cat 2 now suprisingly..but they're calling it a cat 5 rain event😞

[@newsbuster292]

+ Krystal Daniels - have you been watching In2ThinAir by any chance? I check his updates regularly. ;)

[@jodoncaribbeancostarica]

Thank you. I moved from Charlotte last month after 50 yrs but still have family and interests there.

[@cristinabriano4227]

What will happen to the nuclear plants on its way?

[@lanidefelice2945]

Cristina Briano good question...not hearing a word about that threat. I did hear at least one of those nukes are the same as the one that failed in Japan .
