If it hits the Atlantic and reforms, it has to go north, but it doesn't necessarily have to come back to land...correct?

Thanks, btw, for your responses.

Makes a nuclear weapon look like a firecracker considering the energy that thing is generating and releasing.

That would be best probably projection, but I heard that the weather is such to the NNE of this system that it may not continue NNE but rather more northerly...

no video of that yet that I have seen, but it will take some time for people to get out to the barrier islands - might not know anything until light of day.

Winter Springs is about 20mi north of Orlando. Right next to Oviedo.

Pray...and have a glass of wine or two.

I'm way ahead of you on that...but thanks. My sons are actually pretty good at the "preparing and surviving" stuff.

Camping, caving and rock climbing was a regular part of their upbringing.

But, being from Georgia...body surfing was not a regular activity.

Hubby and I have prayed and it is now in God's hands. Ya'll keep praying too.

And.....thanks as always to the Freepers who somehow manage to keep us sane...or insane...

"Almost every" hurricane in the Atlantic generally curves in a big clockwise loop: ending up towards the north and moving east as it gets further north.

Or curve inland (moving more north than east) and breakup over West Virginia, PA, NY, and even Canada. It depends on the random movement of high pressure and low pressure fronts coming from the west while the hurricane is moving north as a low pressure system.

But they also loop, curve back, twist, and move in hesitating steps all the way.

Prediction models are wonderful, but the odd configuration of weather isn't predictable...
