Just an idea about this landfall. If you go look at the current water vapor image, that pulse of energy that is moving through the Great Lakes is a) at it's lowest point as it crosses the US b) right above, as far as 89-90W, Izzy. Watch the loop and you will see as it gets closer to him he turns more to the SW, when it's right above him he went almost due south.

One thing it did for sure was slow his westward progress down to almost nothing, which keeps leaving that door open a little to wide for my taste. The Yucatan Penn. may take some starch out of his shorts, but it's not his final resting place.
