The winds may be down to category 4 again, but because it will be growing in overall coverage area, no one should think it is truly weaker - based on the angle of approach and its size and strength, the storm surge will be historic and the winds will be destructive. Anyone on the left coast who is advised to evacuate needs to do so today. This will set new records for highest storm surge on record, and water kills many more people than wind when it comes to hurricanes.
Sending prayers in advance, hoping everyone remains mindful that possessions can be replaced but people cannot!
