I'm not a fan of Gary Gray's Trantech Model, it has poor verification (though it is claimed to be improved this year) but thought I'd post just to start the frenzy :wink:

Before loading the SUV to Evac, I'd hang on for a few days.

Hmmm..... even so, how much would be left of it after tracking across those 10,000 ft mountains on Hispanola?

Well, that'll depend just how fast she's moving and how direct the hit will be, if she does move up to the area.

Not to honk for this model but it does bring it into Haiti as a C1 hurricane and exits as a TS before intensifing over the Bahamas again to a hurricane. Curiously, this it a tad west of the UKie.
