I have been through a CAT 2. It was wild but not a major hurricane. It is just part of life living near the ocean.
Its a tough call on what Earl will be and if it makes a US landfall or not, hopefully it won't be a direct hit if it comes close to shore. He was upgraded to CAT 4 this afternoon.
The ocean temps on the open Atlantic here are only around 70-75oF so the chances of Earl maintaining high winds are near impossible.
