Don't Understand

Last coordinates 26.9N 80.6W puts it over the middle of Florida east of Ft
Myers. How can it be intensifing rapidly over land.

:roll:


I thought that was a bit odd also. Isnt it difficult for a storm that large to make that much of a directional change in 12 hours?

Ok... I am way to tired for another Hurricane. Watch, I will get power back on and then lose it the next day :) I have averaged about 3 hours (sleep)a night for the last week.
