I’ve spent a fair amount of time out on the Outer Banks of NC, and have found Windfinder.com to be accurate and useful, plus it’s fun to play with, the different tools plus the visual representation is very helpful.
It shows a sort of glancing landfall around Jupiter, FL then running right up the coast and into the warm sounds of NC. I’ve got it set on 9/3 in the following link, but you can advance it several more days, or go back to current time, whatever you prefer:

Yeah that’s a fun one. Got friends who are.... going fishing off the Banks, and they say it gets really good just before a blow.
Times like these we want to cue up “Key Largo” for a sort of Keys in the 40s feel.
Or a you tube on a real killer— the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Have several original books by survivors, and rescue people from that one. They found bodies up in the palm trees, several days after. Mass grave/memorial on Islamorada is worth a visit— Art Deco Works Progress Admin project (and the idiots drive right by it, FDR did when he came down in 1937). There are no names on the monument— of the Veterans who were killed, and most cremated.
