This is an extremely sad & unfortunate situation for Myanmar. People on that SE side of the eye need to prepare for a killer 10-20 foot storm surge penetrating dozens of miles inland. Hoping people realize what is about to happen.

There is no difference between 155 mph C4 and a 160 mph C5. You will still get 12-18 feet of storm surge, and 24”+ of rain. No impact difference at all.
