Yep, they're predicting she will wind back up to Cat 5 just in time to cross the Yucatan Peninsula, then weaken again to become approx. Cat 3 when she comes ashore in S. Florida.

For the record, I am as close to "in the clear" as I can be and still be in the same state, which is a relief for me. I'm just really sorry for the people who aren't.

And as much as I hate to say it....if you actually read about the weather cycles in the Atlantic Ocean, this has nothing to do with Global Warming, George Bush, or the Kyoto Agreement that he refused to sign. It's part of a 20-30 year cycle. A period of extremely severe storms followed by a period of lesser storms is totally normal. Yes, 3 of the top 6 strongest hurricanes ever recorded have occured in the last 7 weeks. However, the recording time is less than 150 years. This is not to say that there haven't been even stronger storms than this before now. It's a global weather cycle, and we're stuck in the crappy part of the cycle right now.
