Looks like Florida's only hope is that the hurricane weakens before it gets there, otherwise you'll all be floating down arse crack creek in a bog roll boat.

Wow, it went from a 1 to a 5 overnight! Thats pretty impressive. Florida gets this every year though, so I suppose its part of life there (so build your houses out of concrete!).
