Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

remember..tracks are not from advisory to advisory..they go for 12 hours..which is why we are still looking west...the storm is wobbling, or better yet, what is often called a stair pattern..it wobbles due north, then due west, Hurricane Dennis did this, that is why it made landfall at Navarre fl. It was on a north wobble, if it had been west, it would have been closer to Mobile..but this is a definate change in direction, slightly north of the NHC path..and with 2 days to go, it could have a significant impact on landfall, especially if it slows down..I'm still focused on Galvaston to Port Arthur as landfall, with whoever is 20-40 miles east of landfall taking one he** of a beating!
