Andrew was reported as a Cat 4 at landfall and was only determined to be a Cat 5 after the fact. If it’s a 4 or 5 it doesn’t really matter - it’s going to be really, really bad. Even a Cat 3 is nothing to trifle with. It isn’t really the wind anyway it’s the rain, flooding, water / food / fuel shortages, power loss and scumbags looting and stealing stuff afterwards that are the real potential problems with any of them,
Maybe FL will "get lucky" but even if the eye stays offshore it means the storm will stay stronger for longer and the coast will get flooded really badly.
Sounds like it’d be a good time to go on a couple weeks vacation somewhere really far away!
