Again...I say...I Love forcaster Stewart. Every time I think this storm has done all it can do, it does something else amazing. If it crosses cuba at this strength, it probably won't lose that much strength over land. In any case, it won't take much to rebuild once it crosses back into the gulf.

Much more of an increase would put him quite near the CAT 5 Threshold. Amazing. Purely amazing.

The Gulf Coast's best bet now would be a landfall during an eyewall replacement cycle. I believe hurricanes briefly weaken during those. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's definately not out of the realm of possibility considering his quick intensification so far.
