Personally, I would not be shocked if it ended up near the Carolinas at all.
Just don't think it will hit the NE Fla, Ga coast. Seems to me that these areas have some kind of "immunity shield"!!!

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL FORECAST BASED ON ANYTHING BESIDES GUT FEELING!!!

i will let you know here in west palm

Titan which is a computer model ABC channel 11 uses says the storm will move off to the NE and not effect land. Dennis phillips said we need to see a trend develop but a side note, titan nailed all the storms this year so far and even predicted Katrinas sw movement...early on

Vipir shows it going out to sea.

for one run, I think it did. Titan has been slowly trending east. Time will tell.

I hope he is right

I think it will get slowly shoved out to sea, but then the ridge will quickly build in and shove it south and southwest, creating a full loop as it heads north and west up the EC through the Carolinas and further to the north. Then a trough finally comes in and erodes the ridge, by that time it will be near new england and finally turn north then east while it's in New England, it will become extra-tropical and finally dissipate.

if hurricane was to hit Georgia no one would evacuate beacuse they think their coastline is hurricane proof

You should have seen it when we left for Floyd.10 hours for a 4 hour trip.

I remember that I-75 near Atlanta looked liked a parking lot with every hotel room filled to capacity i lived there during that time.

We along the Texas coast feel the same way about our coastline...We figure it will either turn left or right at the last minute and it usually does!!

Living on the east coast of florida I feel like a magnet

according to hubby today that never makes forecasts period it is going to do a Jeanne- and head back towards Jeanne's path after the loop!
and I didn't ask for his opinion!

Greg Fischel at WRAL said

" We don't know where it's going yet, so we're not going to try and deceive you and tell you we do"

[susan]

That is probably the most accurate forecast yet..A plain "we don't know" is all they can really say at this point..
