If you read my original post you would see that I didn't say worse, I said more dangerous. The original storm track did not have this storm re-emerging over water. Therefore, the areas north would only have to worry about heavy rain. Now, with the storm transiting the Florida Peninsula, it will have an opportunity to reorganize and regain some strength over water.
Hence, more dangerous.
im sorry...i misunderstood then...thought you meant "more dangerous" than now......apologize.
and you are right.....with it emerging over water it will be worse than if it hadnt.
luckily the upper levels wont be conducive to much strengthening...the storm will be getting "ripped apart" from south to north soon due to the upper level trough sweeping it up.
