This hurricane is baffling the experts as model runs (1-3 days out) have been inaccurate as a persistent WSW continues for now along with "blowing up" all the sudden into a 4/5.
Anyone living in the south should keep an eye on this storm. There has been speculation that FL's panhandle/West Coast/Keys could be in play the farther W this storm goes. Huge storm and has been unpredictable.
FWIW, I just did a quick check of Hurricane Katrina's formation. She was a storm that had a weird formation, erratic path, and wreaked great damage. Katrina formed north of where this storm formed, and then had that odd wobbly path.
I hope this monster veers far east. Even with that, it seems chaos might happen.
