I would just like for the people saying the hurricane center and models have totally missed something to give their reasoning why the projection is wrong. You know, fact based information that isn't just "nature is hard to predict".

I'm starting to really not like these west shifts. In my very unexpert opinion, I think the absolute furthest west it will go is Panama City. For the first time I'm seeing the middle of the track in the extreme east of the gulf.

Living here in Navarre Beach, that would be enough to make me nervous with 2 dogs, a 16 month old, and a 38 1/2 week prego wife.






Be prudent. A landfall in Panama City would be a few more days away, so it won't sneak up on you or anything.

100% agree




Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that this thread is better when everyone goes to sleep and only the knowledgeable people are talking.

You mean like bubba who wakes up and looks at the tv on Wednesday afternoon and notices that the storm is heading west and proceeds to throw a fit on here because he thought it was supposed to turn north?
Never mind that the north turn was supposed to happen tomorrow.



Exactly. The level of retard in this thread is frightening.

We need to make sure a bunch of strong men are ready for the clean up down there. I think Bama needs to head down there to help out and forget about this season.

o one can tell you 100% where this storm is going to hit they they can tell you that all data says where won't be hit. Yes, that might change at so,e point but, until it does, the people that have actual, scientific data currently putting them in the crosshairs are more important than those who maybe, might, some weird scenario get hit.



This will be my last post because I don't want to derail the thread any more.

An admin pointed this out as it happened. People were admonished and made to feel stupid for being worried about this thing potentially making it deep into the gulf because some projections put it there at the time, more than 5 days out. They were told to bank on a sharp turn that was projected more than 5 days out.

There are people in here who have done good work, including ones I've addressed, that have participated in this.

I can see the Vaca Cut bridge being taken out with ease. Marathon is the most important city for the Keys because it has the only Home Depot in the Keys.

True but no orders = no evac for me. And she struggled with a simple 45 minute drive from base the other day.

It's a solid 5 1/2 hrs back to Lake Charles (hometown for us) on a normal day.
