Morning George. I heard she was downgraded to a cat 2 storm. Hopefully she keeps getting weak.

Let's hope so, but even Cat 2 is up to 110mph sustained winds.

I think it is predicted to get to Cat 3 before it hits NC and then be a Cat 2 down to Cat 1 when it comes over DelMarVa.

Category One Hurricane (Sustained winds 74-95 mph, 64-82 kt, or 119-153 km/hr).
Very dangerous winds will produce some damage

Category Two Hurricane (Sustained winds 96-110 mph, 83-95 kt, or 154-177 km/hr).
Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage

Category Three Hurricane (Sustained winds 111-130 mph, 96-113 kt, or 178-209 km/hr).
Devastating damage will occur

Category Four Hurricane (Sustained winds 131-155 mph, 114-135 kt, or 210-249 km/hr).
Catastrophic damage will occur.

Category Five Hurricane (Sustained winds greater than 155 mph, greater than 135 kt, or greater than 249 km/hr).
Catastrophic damage will occur.
