True- for those new to the SE/FL/GA/SC/NC. Those who have been through more than 10 in their lives in these areas, do pay attention- the cut point will begin when a cyclone forms and begins to “steer” by the ridges. Especially E.Coast of FL, Bahamas— these people have been through it, many times.
I have lived in Florida for most of my life and have been through many hurricanes. Today’s technology for hurricane track prediction is quite good, especially 2-3 days out.
