Am I alone in thinking this was not funny in the least? My heart jumped in my throat when I started to read this post. Sitting here in Central FL with signs turning somewhat more ominous as to the possible future outcome with , I think the time has passed for off-color attempts at humor

no it was not funny, it was sarcastic and I feel it was directed to me.

I took it down as soon as I read it...while some might appreciate the wry attempt at humor, with so many people on edge right now, this was not the time nor the place for something "official" looking.

Who is Joe Bastardi? The way people talk about him, he seems legendary, but I've never heard of him before this board....

Sorry...did not mean to offend or scare anyone...was only meant as a somewhat lighted hearted look at everyone's frustration of where is going.

Well, as I said, normally it would have been pretty funny (maybe you want to repost it in the comedy forum), but it had the "official" look and, while certainly tongue in cheek, it scared the everliving $h!+ out of me until I got the joke...

Joe Bastardi is an Accuweather forecaster. I am not a fan (of Accuweather in general), and I'll leave it at that.

FINALLY! A question on here I can answer. 
Joe Bastardi is a senior (the senior?) forecaster for Accuweather. He had a free site for a while that had very good analysis, sometimes somewhat off the wall, but often very accurate forecasting. I believe he NAILED Gaston this year, well before most others even had a hint it would appear. He often relies on "teleconnections" to storms/weather in the Pacific, but others on here (HankFrank?) can explain that, I can't. Anyway, he went to "pay per view" some time ago.

Looks like will clip the far west end of Cuba. Will that be considered the firstl landfall? What's that area like...much population?

Just about everything you'd want to know about Joe B. I think he was a wrestler, hence some folks call him
"the muscled one"

So far, the forecast is panning out just about as we expected here in my weather office...the turn is slighly sharper than I first thought, but in the end it should be about right regardless.
One thing to remember as you look at 12Z model data. DON'T. The models initialized with a WNW motion, but he made the turn to the NW or NNW about the time of the runs, so the models are all a bit (or a lot) too far west right now. Stacy caught this, and will probably expand upon it at 5.
I see no reason to change my forecast philosophy or reasoning and am now going to call for a landfall, near or (more likely) in my viewing area, just slightly west of Panama City, early Thursday (time to hang my hat on something...I have hedged long enough).
