Even with the uncertainties, what would be a reasonable north latitutude by Sunday or Monday which would indicate that south and central Florida are very likely not the landfall target for this monster? :roll:

That is a very good question & I hope you get a reply.. I would love to know.. Right now everything seems too up in the air & it really scares me. That is why I am on here watching & learning!

Is the 64 thousand dollar question. My guess is that it really doesn't much matter because a CAT 5 will go pretty much where she pleases-even at the last minute. Since my knowledge is minimal,I, too, would like to hear some opinions from the pros.

Hurricanes have turned in loops and come back for "seconds" -- in most instants very little can be said about a lat and long that promises safety.

remember:

Anything is possible in the tropics especially at this time of the year. Hurricane Betsy made a loop and came into extreme South Florida in 1965 so be prepared for the worst.

Didn't Dennis loop also, earning him the nickname "Dennis The Menace?"
