I believe that some people seem to have some innate ability to forecast accurately. For example my uncle looks at a storm 5 6 or 7 days out and he is always really close. He doesn't have a huge knowledge of weather but he knows what highs and troughs are. For some reason he is always really close on picking landfall points. Not just for 2 or 3 storms, but it seems like almost every storm this year, and a lot the last few years. Do you believe that some people seem to just have a better idea or where a storm will go?

by the way, he doesn't really know anything about intensity, he just seems to get lucky with where landfalls are

Which would be Naples and that would suck for me as I have family there and am in the adjourning county.

Keep saying "it's five days out, things can change, Bonz"

agreed, not looking forward to having to get down there to shutter the house this week.... nor am I looking forward to storm surge (6 ft house elevation, on the water in Bonita Beach).
