Wasn't Gilbert CAT 3 when it hit? Jim it was known yesterday by many that the forecasts were BS with everything so favorable. Thought perhaps top of CAT 4 but 175 mph is beyond comprehension. Scary the forecasts had it going from 115 to 125 when it actually jumped to 175 mph in a matter of hours overnight, which was a disservice to the people living in harms way. What is even more incredible is the flooding damage is expected to be even worse than wind damage.
