The radar loop at the top of the thread shows the storm track shifting back and forth a little bit. It's been consistently staying in the FL panhandle, from Panama City to Apalachicola.

Tropical storm wind field is 175 miles from the center since Monday morning. Hurricane wind field 30 miles.

Nice touch with Message to Michael. ;o)
