I'm sorry, but the majority of the models for this storm have been useless.

Then how about the 'tawdry romance novel' model? Does it seem as if Irene feels in some way attracted to that little 'social climber' on the south shore of Hispaniola – apparently moving west and growing larger it seems?

I noticed however that with Franklin and Harvey their 'errant behavior' seemed primarily due to getting hammered by moist air coming from North America. But such hammering didn't appear to have altered their NHC projected paths – beyond a few squiggles and delays.
