    Looks like it has shifted to the east.

    And it will likely do a little bit more although there is the worry of a more extreme right turn which has been consistent with other similar storms although not in the projections

    The guilty time when you hope it turns away from you, which means it heads toward someone else

    Hope this one spares Fort Myers and our beach areas, which are still recovering from Hurricane Ian nearly a year ago.

    LOL as with any predictions of hurricanes, this did age well.

    A little surprised. Are you in a flood zone?

    You probably have the person who started the thread blocked.

    I don't have anyone blocked that I know of. Plus you're a mod. Not supposed to block you.

    No, not directly. But 115 mph, possible intensification.

    I know the locations are very rough estimates at this point, but that's a long way for it to travel from 1 am to 1 pm Wednesday. 20+mph?

    I will say that my wife has been tracking this since I believe last Wednesday, no later than Thursday, when literally it was nothing except a pile of clouds over the Yucatan. If it follows on this path, it will be almost exactly what was projected last week. A testament to the growing power of the models with more data and computing power, although obviously there's always variation
