Vortex shows not much movement during the ERC. Not sure if that will translate into a resumption west or west north west or the beginnings of another track.

I'm getting very concerned. Looking at the visible loop, and overlaying the forecast positions, the new eye appears to be forming too far north to continue a westward motion. The entire central dense overcast seems shifted northward from the forecast position (but not west/east of it). Probably a wobble but enough of one to scare me right now.
ETA thoughts in response to Pcola: Yeah... my thoughts would be something along the lines of OH ****!
Let me clarify that... it DOES appear to me on visible and IR sat that Katrina is moving, at least in terms of the eye location... moving north or NNW or *maybe* NW. But as mets will say, we can pay much attention to wobbles.
