Yes, this is definitely not the storm to wishcast.

I admit that tropical storms can be exciting and all, some cleanup, no deaths (although, Gaston was another story).

But a hurricane, CAT III+ at landfall, would leave thousands homeless, and more than a dozen dead, with billions of dollars in damage. At this point it's not the question of IF it will hit the Southeast, it's a question of who would it hurt the LEAST if it were to hit.
