Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for joining us this afternoon at the reagan building. We are thrilled to be back. It has been an incredible and exciting morning of discussions today.

It heads towards the u. S. Mainland. Florida is bracing for a direct hit. The storm now forecasted to make landfall as a category 4 hurricane and this could strengthen even more through the holiday weekend. Chad myers is in the cnn weather center. What are you seeing there, chad . Looks like 130 Miles Per Hour is now where the National Hurricane center has kind of settled on. We were 70, 80, 100, 110 and now were at 130 Miles Per Hour somewhere very close to the grand bahama island or nassau by sunday morning. By monday morning likely onshore or at least very close to being onshore in florida. Theres a couple of caveats with this, we call it the cone of uncertainty. There is a chance because of the cone that this storm as it begins to turn and slow down could stop or slow down 30 miles sooner and we could still be in the cone and miss florida altogether. Thats part of the cones error process. But also it could go all the way across and be in the gulf of mexico and still be in the cone.
