Oh I'm sure it will be another cat 5 after they get done running their computer models.
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.

Looking at the radar signature of the storm this morning I'm thinking you'll be hard pressed to find a cell in this tropical storm that is more significant than any gusty afternoon thunderstorm in the south. It will be a breezy day along the gulf coast with gusty showers. We've all been through thunderstorms worse than this.
