You are absolutely correct. They have that hurricane turning on a dime a full 90 degrees plus to head north.
I have never seen that before.
They really must want to stimulate emergency sales in the heavily populated northwest to boost the economic numbers or something for a few days.
Then when reality hits, they’ll still get their Florida type sales bump.
Really? You've never seen that? Then you don't watch hurricanes. I've been a meteorologist for 28 years...and it happens a LOT. Look at the track from Sandy in 2012. That is a 90 degree turn back to the left. There are so many examples of this happening that it would fill the page....which means you probably don't know as much about hurricanes as you think you do...or don't track them as much as you think you do ;-)
