Now that's a lol!! The NHC has done a good job on the path, although, they certainly didn't spot the system going stationery. I certainly hope it isn't moving at 10 mph (although it is visible on radar). The faster it goes, the further West it will go, IMO, before it gets picked up by the trough.

For those of us in Charley-damaged homes in the Orlando area, a fast west track is a God-send.

That ridge is going no where fast, it would be something to break through it.

Sean, who do you know in Slidell? I know a couple of guys over there as well, went to NLU with one of them.

Anyway, I would have disagree on the movement. The storm is surely not moving at 10, it still looks stationary to me. What I do notice in the radar is that the "eye wall" that it is trying to form has wrapped around 3/4 of the way and it's starting to look impressive.

I'm sorry. As much as I would like to see it, I don't!

Jacob and Scott...these are two that I correspond with via email and IM's during different weather events...
If this storm is moving along then we could be seeing a second landfall as far West as Mobile, IMO. I'm counting on this being a fluke of the eye and the storm moving much more slowly.
