Re: Forecasting fun with Jeanne

Well, it's indented...not really indentured, unless it's in the services of someone else or is actually indenting something!

I digress.

Georgia can get a storm hit from a storm not directly pointed at it, but any hit on the state is rare. Plus, ultimately, a storm making landfall somewhere has to be pointed at that place at some given point in time. In any case, while rare, there are cases where a storm paralleled the Florida coast and turned NW into Georgia, as well as cases where the storm traveled directly into Georgia.

The coastline is so small and shaped in such a peculiar manner as to make landfalls there rare, however.
