Don't post misinformation like that bro, it's VERY much in DOUBT that SFL will get anything more like some bands from this. If it doesn't get tangled up in the islands long enough for ridging to build in, still recurve IMHO.
Mate thats far from misinformation...your posting constant misinformation regarding your rock solid belief for a recurve...
Right now its still very much in the air, models have trended WEST (don't even try to deny that!) and less models now outright recurve. The pattern is still for recurve BUT the big difference is the system is weaker for longer thus gets further west and the models now form a weak ridge as well...
As for strength, you maybe right but Hispaniola didn't stop Jeanne from becoming a major and didn't stop David restrengthening into a hurricane in 79...didn't stop Frederic from becoming a major hurricane in the gulf...didn't stop gustav becoming a category-4 either...
It will certainly have a huge impact but I think people who expect to kil lthe storm outright is living on the edge, if the pattern is good enough aloft and its got enough time it will restrengthen to some degree.
