YIKES! My mom and dad live in Winter Haven. A few days ago I was thinking of going there to escape the storm....now they may have to come here!

Yowza. Great graphic but could be somewhat misleading (to the general public who don't follow tropical systems much) in that it sort of contributes to the path and not the cone way of thinking that so many forecasters advocate.

By that I mean...having the myriad of towns and cities on the graphic tends to make people from those areas under the line think that the line is absolute.
