5. yes, that is nature at work. I understand it's going to cause a lot

of pain and destruction, but you just have to admire nature doing what it does.

[Surya Gayatri]

[applegrove]

14. Oh my god. People will die. Let's call to our ancestors and send good

vibes and pray or whatever. Let's hope it calms down. It will be night as it approaches shore. Perhaps that will cool it & slow it.

17. This thing actually got stronger over night

Jumped up by 30 mph in 4 hours in the middle of the night and it kept getting stronger until you see the CAT 5 before you now.

[applegrove]
