    Cat 4 or 5? Get the hell out of Dodge!!! Run away like Monty Python fleeing from the sight of a murderous ninja bunny!

    I saw a meterologist explaining how the two hurricanes couldn't have ever merged to make a "super cane," and thought it was interesting, basically the inner part where the eye is has rising air pressure, while towards the extremities outwards, it has lowering air pressure, so the bigger cane's rising pressure basically suppresses the smaller cane's lowering pressure thus making it weaker. It's physically impossible basically for the hurricanes to merge. Wild.
