Right now I'm more concerned with it taking the predicted north hook and keeping it out of the GOM. Images of Ivan always comes to mind with these types. Getting the left hook is better than the right uppercut. A little different scenario here as always, but until it takes that north direction I'm concerned, even this far west.
I'm with you Jag95. in the FL Panhandle. I am uneasy until that north turn predicted for Sunday actually happens. I know almost all the models predict it, but this storm has a lot of power and is stronger than anything else out there. I believe Ivan and Katrina were predicted to make quick northward turn and didn't. I feel like if I wait until Sunday to evacuate with my family, it's too late.
IS this just the beginning of a trend? Maybe it does stay offshore.
