NRL's "rounded" track has been updated with the 5 am advisory: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/04_ATL_11L.JEANNE_ssmi_gif_full.html
While this is probably a good depiction and maybe even a 'better' depiction of her path, it *is* still bringing the eyewall too close for comfort to E Orlando which has already had a direct hit of the Charley eye-wall and puts the East Eye wall right over the coast, also areas that suffered so badly with Frances. NONE of these depictions can depict the misery and costs and yes, even loss of life of the real thing.. None of the lines on this map can depict what it will feel like (or does for earlier storm victims) how it feels to return to a pile of rubble instead of a home. And it isn't *just* Orlando even though it is home to me, it is much of an entire state that is suffering again, psychologically now, physically this weekend.
Remember, these lines, curved or not represent an approximate center of an *area* of fear and uncertainty and pain and misery and of lives changed.
