Where is the turn???

#1 Postby southeastva » Wed Sep 17, 2003 10:35 pm

The turn not happening is starting to make me nervous. We are in Smithfield, VA (About 35 miles from VA Beach). Isabel is 383 miles SSE from us right now and is moving NNW. I am afraid if it doesn't turn soon we are going to get it really bad. Anybody have any ideas on when the turn will happen?

Watching the Weather Channel, you get the idea that's it's already made it's turn (or maybe I'm not paying attention), because the forecast swath has shifted well to the west of where it had been.
