That's what they say...I wasn't here for it, thankfully.
I am amazed by that fact, though. I don't know all of the reasons for it, but it seems that the forecast'll point one right at us and then it goes north or south of us.
The closest one, recently anyway, went ashore some 30 miles or so north of here and we only got 40 to 50 mph gusts and some rain out of it.
BUT...nobody's asleep at the switch at this house. We're always up on our toes when one of these rascals gets in the gulf.
I lived there about 27 years ago and I don't remember any storms hitting CC since then.
