It's a Cat 5 now but the good news is that it's expected to downgrade to a Cat 3 at landfall, due to wind shear.

If landfall is below Tampa, that's good for TV. The more north, that's bad, obviously. During hurricane Ian 2022, we did not lose power, cable TV or internet. Landfall was a Cat 4, 110 miles below Tampa (just above Fort Myers).
