I see little northward adjustments and southward adjustments, but on the whole, seemingly west. She's a wobbly sucker, isn't she? Andrew was much more of a straight shooter.

Actually the average movement for the last 12 hours is 280 degrees.

The motion, subtracting the wobbles, is blatantly obviously a bit N of due W.

Just examined the speed issue. Here's the data.

At 0645z. She is located at 19.14N / 56.94W

At 1245z. She is located at 19.22N / 58.08W

So...over the last 6 hours she has moved on a heading of 274 and has covered a distance of 66NM...or 76 statute miles.
