Re: curvature of earth....and distance from equator

Re-read what I typed.

The reference to sloughing off surge was in the event of a drastic direction change. Something I have stated I don't see happening. I've been the one saying that even if this storm weakens, if it stays on its current path, it'll be carrying the Cat 5 storm surge with it.

No worries, but I was rather clear in my statement. Apologies if you misunderstood.
