I have never knocked the nhc before,But I will now.I was just at the beach here and there is a steady wind of about 25mph with higher gust for the past few hours.This did not happen with Hurricane Katrina.The steady wind really surprised me.And seeing it blow up on radar it was amazing that they did not upgrade to a hurricane.But then I find out they flew into the wrong part of the storm.Why would they go into the south part first?The north part is what affects us the most. This storm exploded,no question on that.I really think this was a real screw-up by the people at the nhc.

They went in through the southeast part first because that is the direction they were coming from. They are flying from St Croix.
