1) it follows the gulfstream a bit closer which makes more sense

2) The turn isn't quite as "sharp". Storms can do anything but it is fairly rare for them to make turns quite that big.

3) It is slowing down which will help in many ways. It will give the high pressure area to the north east more time to move out of the way.

Cuba and Puerto Rico must be more hopeful as well.
