Re: Gaston Landfalls in South Carolina, Tropical Storm Hermine Forms

Don't feel too good just yet. There is a large margin of error on a 5 day forecast track sometimes.
However, the thing that I always keep in mind is that historicly at least, the majority of storms taking the Francis path do curve to the North. Andrew being the most memorable exception. So, you have to watch and prepare.
I fear GOM storms that cross the state like Charley much more than Atlantic storms.
But, I keep an eye on them just the same.
