Re: HURRICANE IRMA LOUNGE

Irma's track just offshore of northern Cuba has been remarkable. Many opportunities to head inland.. None taken!





Isn't that somewhat expected? There is an effect which basically keeps the hurricane offshore when it is skirting the shore like that. Essentially the path of least resistance, hurricanes don't like land. I've seen this before, maybe Charlie?
