The experts who try to predict the path of hurricanes are once again doing the Gulf coast a disservice by predicting a strong right turn to hit Florida. Remember, they insisted for the longest that Katrina would take a right turn anf hit the Florida panhandle. Then Rita to hit the Texas-Mexico area. Just do a simple extrapolation and it is heading for the middle of the Gulf coast, not Florida. They have 20 models going in all directions and they seem to pick 5 that somewhat agree and present that as the path and ignore all other models.

The above is so heavily riddled with nonsense I'm not even sure where to begin.

Please provide links to all these models that take it in "all different directions."

Simply stated: your post regarding Katrina is absolutely wrong.

The forecasters predicted Katrina's landfall within 30nm many days before it struck N.O. --- and it was totally settled by Friday evening.

I won't address the other errors in the post, but you are greatly misinformed. At a minimum, it appears that you don't have any clue as to how to interpret the presentation of the models.
