It has been a weaker hurricane season.
when they travel West and hit the E coast dead center like this one will and your S of that point it aint never headed S never has never will.
So yes with this one if your S of Ga your overreacting.
The NHC has made only 22 forecasts in the last 20 years projecting an intensity of 125kt or higher at day 4 or 5.
That is from these 7 storms:
Isidore 2002 / Isabel 2003 / Frances 2004 / Ivan 2004 / Dean 2007 / Igor 2010 / Irma 2017

6 of those peaked at over 125 kts, Isador unexpectedly veered into Yucatan, weakening it.

“Isidore”
Here is the bottom line on hurricane forecasting by the weather people- I will believe it when it happens.
Yep - the son with his wife and daughter, live outside Charleston, SC - he’s already doing preliminary stuff - he went through Katrina with us and knows what a hurricane can do.
