Does anyone understand why the official forecast is so far North? Only ONE of the FIVE models on Wunderground predict a landfall at or near Freeport. Every other model takes the storm practically West. Why isn't the official forecast showing this?

I'm honestly very confused. There's SO much hype in Houston... And this will either be a horrible storm for us, or hardly anything at all. I'm still unsure of which.

GFDL is right of the NHC track. That reason alone has me concerned.
