I think it's exceeded all our expectations.

It's moving slowly and the slower-moving the storm, the more unpredictable it always is.

There's no part of Florida that's truly hurricane-invulnerable.

It was incredibly out of the ordinary. This season was such an extreme event that it's a little difficult to believe it could repeat itself on a regular basis. But it's too early to tell what the next season will bring.

But there is still room for loops and wobbles. It's really too early to say for sure where it'll go.

Some strengthening is forecast ... and Maria could be near hurricane strength by Sunday.
