what i heard is when the hurricane is cat 4/5 it can blow so hard that it is actually picking up the top layer of ocean and blowing it away causing colder water from deeper to rise to the top causing a cooling effect. i dont know shit though. everything i know about hurricanes i learned in the last 24 hours
Even cat 4 or cat 5 won't pull up the cold ocean water if they're moving. They would just pull up the top layers of ocean water, which are warm.

The problem with this storm has been that it hasn't moved. And because it was so powerful it started pulling up the deeper, colder waters

and is it actually headed to Florida, or nah?
As of 1 p.m. the National Hurricane Center said Dorian's maximum sustained winds had decreased to near 110 mph. It is moving northwest at 3 mph. Which means yes, it's heading our way as of right now though they're expecting it to turn N/NE before it has a chance to make landfall on the FL peninsula.
