If she does continue to slow the tracks can be tossed out the window and we will have to start fresh again.

Well, to be fair, when I hopped online this morning and found out that Wilma had gone from a Tropical Storm to the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic as quickly as it had, I was fairly unsettled myself.

when we see phenomena that are out of the bounds of recorded observation history, it's natural to be unsure of ourselves!
I think I would be skeptical if the NHC and other scientists announced that they had all the answers at this point!
