I did research and found this:

Over the past decade as developers expanded Pembroke Pines westward, more hurricanes have affected the city and its residents. In 1999 Hurricane Irene dumped up to 16 inches (410 mm) of rain in the city. The western communities, such as Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes, saw an estimated 19 inches (480 mm).



And Irene was a category 1 or 2. This thing is like a 4 or 5. :merchant:

All this is swampland. My house got built in 95. Everything here was mostly big dirt mountains and nothing but trees.

The storm chaser explained it..exactly what I was thinking.

Based on what he explained Miami would get hit with cat 1/cat 2 winds but the sw will get hit head on. The strong right quadrant should just be hitting swampland.

Miami should be able to handle cat 1/cat 2 wind. I have been in those.

That all depends on where the eye makes landfall and no one can accurately guess that yet. If Miami ends up just east of the eye and it look like it might, Jeff is gonna be wrong. I wouldn't risk it.
