Nope...that's just a myth. If it says 110 then its 110...unles of course the advisory is wrong

Has the NHC lost it at the critical moment?
Someone please step up to correct me if I am mistaken here. I probably don't know what I'm talking about. But it sure seems to me from viewing the TPC website that they just LOST IT in their 11 am report.
(1) The storm is still reported as heading due north, not NNE as is apparent in looking at the radar loops. More to the point, no mention of the greatly increased threat to Fort Myers and Port Charlotte.
(2) Dysfunctional posting on their website. Here shortly past noon, I still get the 5 a.m. Discussion by clicking on that link. Not a good show at a time when every hour is critical. And check out the latest charts they put up...the lines showing the path of the storm as it comes into Tampa aren't even there on both charts. Looks to me that they are unfinished yet were put up that way!

(3) Didn't they fail to report the strengthening of the storm as found by recon aircraft?
I could be wrong here and if so I apologize. Could someone more knowledgeable than me comment on these points?
