I think it might too, its that gut feeling, but we'll see, there's no use in worrying, it'll get us nowhere.

cut and pasted from ....we all have to assume it's heading our way...cause the fact remains...it's too far away...everyone keeps thinking the next advisory...and they'll get a handle on it.....I am hearing it is changing easterly a bit...
if this trend were to continue....it might easily track towards Tampa....just have to wait and see...but usually...it's down the middle somwhat....if it hits Pensacola, or Panama City...Mobile will suffer little, if any....however, any jog, slowdown..etc...can change things quickly....
this is a great site, learning a lot....
now, from the discussion:
EXTENDED OUTLOOK. NOTE...ERRORS FOR TRACK HAVE AVERAGED NEAR 250 NM
ON DAY 4 AND 325 NM ON DAY 5...AND FOR INTENSITY NEAR 20 KT EACH DAY

well the past couple days the percentage of tampa being hit has increased steadily....first it was 5 , 7, 10 and now we are at a total of 18....i think im gonna start getting ready.... 
The strike probability you're referring to is actually the chance that the center will pass within 65 nautical miles(74 statute miles) of that location. Currently hurricane force winds extend 45mi from the center and t.s. force winds 140mi. The numbers will increase as time progresses, until the storm has passed the location, because the storm is getting closer. Unless the track shifts dramatically one way or another.

I did not answer the question I raised earlier about something else happening an hour ago because I am at work and actually needed to see more views before committing...while the motion to the wnw seems to have resumed a slight warming in cloud temps, lessening of convection has recently persisted on the N and East side.
could be interaction of the two large land masses it is traversing as we speak.

I still think we are looking for a Alabama/MS landfall, but it does make you wonder if this is payback for last year and . The was originally saying it was coming up the West Coast of FL but it kept going west. Do we have a flip episode here?
Naaaww! Look out AL/MS/FL borders!!!!!

In Pensacola we feel like the car rear view mirror. The models keep going from our east, to our west, to our east, etc. I just wish we could get out of the center.

Well, people here in Pensacola are really going nuts. If this thing hits us, it will just be a remake of . People here still have tarps on their roofs in some places. It will be a disaster if it comes close to us in Pensacola.

It's awfully hard for a hurricane of ' size to make a west Florida impact coming from the Western Caribbean and the SE GOM. did it, but it's rather uncommon. I just don't see it happening, especially with the current pattern. I think the area that needs to be very concerned is from Grand Isle, LA to Pensacola, FL. I am not saying that everyone else should let down their guard, this is just my opinion on the developing situation. Everyone has to stop looking at the short term motions (i.e a 3 hour sample) and look at a running 24 hours minimum. Small jogs to the west and north are common and are going to continue to occur. There is no need to freak out over each and every one.
I can tell you that I am deeply troubled about the possibility of a New Orleans impact and I am already beginning to make plans. The amazing thing is that hotels are already sold out across the region.

Gas stations are running out of fuel and the ones remaining are jacking up the prices. People are going nuts in Pensacola.
