For all the talk of her turning north, she's still moving west. Florida might be spared if she gets in the Gulf, but God help Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana.

(4,429 posts)at this point, there is pretty good consensus. Of course, you're right - there could be an unexpected shift. But it's much less likely at this point.

(51,590 posts)I am not a meteorologist but it seems that this is a realistic possibility. I actually said out loud a couple times, "Shit, this thing is going to go into the Gulf". That is good for the people on the West coast of FL of course but not good for the residents of so many states bordering the Gulf. Hurricanes are SOOO unpredictable. I feel sorry for the weather forecasters who sometimes get blamed for not making more accurate predictions and for local governments who need to organize emergency first responders and getting thousands of people to evacuate.
