Notice at the 72 hour point...they forecast sustained winds at 125 knots (145 MPh) and gusts to 150 knots (170-175 MPh!!). Notice the wind radius as well...34 knot winds are supposed to extend out to a huge extent in 72 hours. All I can say is...if you live in the northern or eastern GOMEX, at the FIRST hint that this storm will turn N and/or NE, make your preperations! It is not out of the question this storm could be as strong as Mitch was at one point...except it could be headed towards the US! I don't mean to scare anybody, but by the middle to the end of this week we may well have catastrophe on our hands.

I also don't think Isidore will get quite as far west as NHC is forecasting. I'm pretty sure they're uncertain about the 72 hour position.
