Mike how well did this model perform on Frances and Charley? I used to know, but I forgot. Too little sleep these last weeks make for a fuzzy mind.
Really missed not having access to Storm2K during the evacuation. My place of business was heavily damaged and is without power, but I was hoping for a paycheck before the next evacuation...
It was very acurate and consistant with frances over 14 runs out...
thats about 7 days! it ended up being off by mabye 50 or so miles on eventual landfall... all the while showing almost the exact same route through south-central fla. except for one hiccup into the carolina's...

Mike is there a presedent for a state to get hit by a hurricane three times in 4-6 weeks?
If you count Bonnie too (TS), 3 tropical systems have hit Florida in what 3 weeks? If you end up adding Ivan to the mix, 4 systems (3 canes) in about a month's time.
Seems interesting the very fact that certain models become popular or the "chosen" model shows just how inconsistant they are. We still have a long way to go before we can depend on one model alone to be 95% correct from start to finish.
