The models were showing this....some still do, but they all still show it turning north in the end anyway, so if it does head down into the BOC, don't lose your guard.
Good point. It's going to be easy for people to get suckerpunched by this storm. It's Chamber of Commerce weather here on the Gulf Coast today, and it will be for the rest of this week. The storm seems to be barely moving, and the only people watching it closely are the experts and a few people on FR who obviously have no date on a Saturday night. ;-)
I'll keep watching this one until it comes ashore or the power goes out, whichever is first.
