Whole East Coast now vulnerable

with the change in track, the entire East Coast is vulnerable to a hurricane. Greatest threat remains SC/NC/VA now

Yes, and not only the track. With the rapid intensification that seems to be taking place, it means more rain, more destruction further inland. Also bad news if it somehow makes it out into the Atlantic in the notch under the Carolinas...though that seems unlikely right now. The last few frames off the satellite visibles seem to show a rather sharp curve towards the northeast, which I don't think is something any of the models predicted. Maybe a wobble?

The 1:15 update indicating the 145 mph winds just DISAPPEARED from the NHC web site. Any thoughts?
