Thanks so much for this information. I own a home in South Florida and based on these terrifying predictions, I’m already taking steps such as replacing my old roof with a new one, strengthening my shutters, trimming trees and thinking about how I will modify my old storm plan to deal with stronger storms. It just seems like in the past couple of years, EVERY tropical storm that appears undergoes rapid intensification and maxes out when the eye wall replacement cycles occur. We’ve been lucky that such storms last year were deflected into the N. Atlantic. Looks like that might not happen this year per Dr. Cowan’s video and I’m not sure my old 1/8 inch aluminum shutters could survive anything above cat 3. Given this, the predicted number of major storms by CSU could be low. Too late to sell and move north, what will come, will come.
