"Anyone using this or any other hurricane thread for important information is prob asking for trouble."
I follow each and every one of Nauti's hurricane's threads and I will say this.......people posting here are 2-3 three hours ahead of local and National forecasts, models, changes, etc. Pay close attention to some of these posters here, they seem to have a real good clue. I don't know where or how they cull their information and don't care, I just know they are ahead of the National guys. Go back and re-read this thread and you will see some were clearly calling for a more westwardly track hours before it was National news. I love these threads!!!
re: westerly track: yes it's interesting that the forcasters are finally moving their forcast west towards New Orleans
