Here is a link to a loop of the forecasts:

JOAQUIN Graphics Archive

You can stop the loop and step through the forecast maps with the controls on the left.

Early on Tuesday 9/29, the storm was forecast to stay well north of the El Faros' presumed course. As you step through the images you can see the storm forecast and center keep moving south and staying east.

That is one very good link and I bookmarked it.

Look at the trends of the forecasts. By the 29th it was evident that the forecast was moving west. By the 30th it was obvious. Any maritime professional sailing in tropical waters should have known better and kept up with the forecasts.

A tropical storm that gets near the Bahamas or Florida can become a major storm in a few hours. What happened with Joaquin reminds me of how Andrew took a sharp turn west and strengthened rapidly.

Had I been the captain, I’d have waited one day to see what this monster really was.
