I'm very glad to see you say this Aric

...I have been saying this all day long. In my history of tracking storms I have seen the islands many times cause a center reformation. If that were to happen and convection build on the north side of Hispaniola with a new dominant center then we have a whole new ballgame. If that happens you can essentially throw out all the models that have been run so far

and start all over with new model runs and a new best track. The islands are the X factor here and until we see how Isaac interacts with them tomorrow and into Saturday then anything is fair game.
