Damn, looks like they're going to see Michael Jackson in concert!

yeah this storm is getting pretty big. however. i did read that they believe that it will drop back down a little before landfall due to it being difficult for storms to remain cat. 5 because the pressures around the storm have to remain perfect, and the usually arent.

it'l still be strong, but its predicted to drop back down to a 4.
