This is going to be a US Prime Time storm - landfall is expected around breakfast time in the US - and will continue all day. The storm's track is significantly worse than expected - and the storm is significantly stronger than initially expected.
Practically speaking we are looking at a storm similar in strength to Hurricane Andrew in its landfall destruction potential with the rainfall and flooding potential of Katrina (New Orleans) or Harvey (Houston) - and consequently one of the most expensive in history.
