Well, in our email Updates, I've advertised Myrtle to NOR for 1 week so I'm okay with your landfall "A" and "B".

Your snow maps are more colorful, tho.

I have to say, I am very surprised to see the NC/SC border area in the 50% area. I was sure we would be well out of any problem areas. SIGH****

Well beenthru6 if you look at the winds map you will see his track takes Isabel up towards the Hattaras area....................Which is where i myself am expecting landfall if not slightly north by a few miles up the NC outerbanks...........................Either way his target area i think is just about on the money as it has been!...................This in no way implies that you are safe which is why you are in that 50% area and the same goes further up the coast as well to the NJ coast!........................As i said above great job DT on Isabel and the same applies to all the other Pro Mets and amatures alike who have called this Hurricane so far!

We have to watch the storm closely---whoever gets hit is in for a smashing, however, if the storm skirts the coast---things aren't too terribly bad 50 or so miles to the west of the center. I doubt those west of the center out 75 miles or more will even lose power. Good luck to those in the bullseye area--take this storm seriously for your own safety!

Lol Galveston! You are not the only one hoping that. Also when I posted the first time, I hadn't yet looked at the wind field map. That made me feel a lot better seeing how minimal the winds here are forecast to be. I know it isn't written in stone where Issy goes, but being on the south side is a definite plus.

Good work DT -- though I might bring the 50 percent a bit farther south, like Charleston north or even Jville. BUT that's just MHO and counts for zip. I really do admire your skill.

DT and I are thinking the same scenario....my landfall analysis is the Cape Lookout to Buxton area...with Ocracoke in the crosshairs.

My only difference is I expect a stronger hurricane at landfall....125-130 mph; and 135 won't shock me (a Hazel type intensity hurricane).
