Cat 3 with 120 MPH winds as the eye approaches Naples.
FEMA sets up rumor control page to offset misinformation being spread on social media. Numerous scams are being perpetrated including what happened in Texas with fake inspectors and first responders with no official ID looting people's homes. Email scams asking for money. Official relief agencies will not contact you through social media or email asking for money. They rely on SSL web site donation (HTTPS) and checks made out to the official charity.
Scams: not to individuals or modified charity names. Robo calls telling people their flood insurance is over due and to pay through a fishing web site, etc.
