Hi Brett, We are all keeping any eye on Irma's developing track as well as praying that everyone gets spared. It is not going to be good, and I will leave it at that.
In regards to your question of what possibly can happen with a CAT 5 hurricane, I would suggest that you look at these pictures: http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/nws/andy1.html (Pay attention to the pictures on page 2 of the wood pieces and the palm tree) Having lived thru that, and knowing what folks went thru first hand ..... All I can say, with deep deep meaning... "In a Cat5 storm, all bets are off, what will survive and what will fail.." Regards.
