To all our friends further North stay safe..It could hit landfall anything between a 3 to 5 depending on what model runs true..... get your emergency kits checked and ready... lets hope it passes right across East -West and does not track down south, they have no idea what is going to happen after it hits land on Friday so lets just keep our fingers crossed.
