If it was not going to make landfall the 90 degree waters would make it a cat5.

From what I understand, Cuba does a fairly good job with evacuations, they bus eveyone out of the area.

Yes, I'd expect a very low (if any) fatality count in Cuba. However, property damage will probably be immense.

I didn't know "rapid intensification" was an actual, defined term. Oh well. I'll stick with "holy crap", then.

The last of my personal hurricane theories: If the hurricane doesn't want to make landfall at dusk or dawn, then high tide will do fine. So basically IMHO, I think hurricanes prefer to make landfall at one of 4 times during the day: Dawn, dusk, or one of the high tides.
