for some odd reason i think there will be a more west turn in less 48-56 hrs and a slow down in 36hrs or less...if it passes south of Long island , bhm....think we may see GOM entrance....possble panhandle landfall then..... the ULL to west appears to be gone.....trough over gulf coast is weak and looks to be lifting some what due north.... if lived south of I-4....i would leave.....and head north towards macon, ga..... this strom can be twice as bad as charley...just do to overall SIZE of storm... charley didn't have time to grow, before land impact...plus there was a strong front over NW fl panhadle pushing ene......this time we have a strong high off near bermuda and it's not giving in...and a weak front
