It really seems that the NHC and Accu-weather are sticking to the bitter end with the northeast turn once it gets inland. But with the speed of Jeanne, wouldn't that make it harder to make that northerly turn and track it further into the GOM? The way this storm has been acting in the last 12 hours I have a gut feeling that Jeanne may become Ivanesque and track into the GOM and then head into Alabama and track near Atlanta...

No meterological basis for that statement, but just observations and feelings.

Also, Georgia gubbanah Sonny Purdue has just issued a state of emergency for the entire state...I wonder if he knows something that the NHC may not know?
