We don't need arrogance on these threads. Only blowhards take credit for their guesses, and one can only guess when it comes to hurricanes.

I didn't guess.

I saw the storm smacking into Haiti and Cuba.

I saw the pressure system to the west holding its' position.

A lot of 'could have', 'would have' and 'might just' anecdotes coming from the news arena.

I simply used my eyes and my brain to figure out that this storm was going to bounce off Haiti and Cuba like ping pong ball and never meander into the Gulf.
