User blog comment:CycloneRyne94/Could Matthew become a Category-5?/@comment-27446087-20161001011524

This thing is intensifying rapidly; 150 mph within 4 days is INCREDIBLE. And still, Matthew hasn't reached the highest oceanic heat content yet. With a whole WEEKEND to spend in a Caribbean hotbead prior to slamming into Jamaica and Cuba, I'd definitely say C5 is likely - it may very well happen tonight.

And that may not be the best part, as some models have Matthew as a C5 near Florida and traveling up the East Coast as a very strong major hurricane. While that is worrisome for many, it's still awesome to see such an incredible storm occur in the Atlantic once again.
