    I've been watching the WINK Doppler from Fort Myers.

    Man, not only this is a Cat 4.5, but it's moving very slowly inland. North Port and El Jobean have to be getting blasted right now. And it's going to be hours before they get out of the worst of it.

    The story was only talking about storms that were were 5s at the point of impact, so yeah, Katrina no longer qualified.

    NHS:

    NOAA Doppler radar imagery indicates that the eye of Ian made
    landfall along the southwestern coast of Florida near Cayo Costa
    around 305 PM EDT (1905 UTC). Data from an Air Force Reserve
    reconnaissance aircraft indicate that Ian's maximum sustained winds
    were estimated to be near 150 mph (240 km/h). The latest minimum
    central pressure estimated from reconnaissance data is 940 mb
    (27.75 inches).

    What am I supposed to do, root for DeSantis to fuck this up and make people miserable/dead? Hard pass.

    Katrina's storm surge was what really screwed coastal Mississippi.
