Re: Somebody had to do it...

Be careful what you wish more, you may get it and more. These Gulf storms scare me. I remember the way Opal blew up overnight. Went to bed expecting a nice small cat 1 and woke up to a cat 3+ monster. I always wonder about a strength forecast on a GOM storm, or any other storm too. Seems like improvement is made on track forecasting; but strength forecasting seems to show as much skill as predicting a roll on the dice.

Can not get the thought out of my mind of a double whammy hit over the next two weeks.
