At this time it doesn't appear it will be a major threat to the United States during the next five days. |
Bad things can still happen, even on the fringes of hurricanes, ... We don't want people outside thinking it's OK. These squally bands can drop a tornado very quickly. |
Because it's such a large storm, when center is near Cuba, we could see rain bands. It is a larger hurricane than we typically see. |
But it's not going to threaten any land anywhere over the weekend. |
Every once in a while you get just the right conditions. |
Everyone should take this hurricane very seriously. This is going to be a potentially dangerous and potentially deadly situation and people need to get prepared. |

I wouldn't be surprised if much of the island is under water. It's just a speck on the map. |
If it goes just 20 or 30 miles inland, the core could be destroyed. A lot will depend on the exact track. |

It is going to be a very dangerous situation. We could easily see 15 inches of rain in some mountain areas, and that could cause flash floods and mudslides. |
It was straight up and down, and it began to spin faster and faster and faster. |
