Think it is clear places like Cedar Key are going to have a really rough time with the surge, even if the storm comes ashore a bit to the NW.

I know the populated location are people are concerned about for impacts in Valdosta, GA. At 18 mph forward speed core would get there ~3.5 hr after landfall.

Has there ever been a major hurricane that wasn’t retired after a US landfall? This one might be a candidate to avoid retirement based on early returns 

I think there have been at least a few.

Only bc it slammed a WMA instead of a populated city

The perfect major storm that not only hit a sparsely populated area but also fortunately had an eyewall replacement going on just before landfall as opposed to the continued strengthening that some were expecting. But Perry, Madison, and Valdosta still had a big hit.

Mids af but I am glad we got something

I could have told you that. It was pretty obvious this would be a minor event.

Small cane (low surge potential) that hit a sparsely populated area. Didn't matter how strong it got with the core of intense winds only being a few miles across without no major population centers nearby.
