How does th NHC rate as far as accuracy? Personally. I think they pretty much nailed Charley and Frances, as much as you could "nail' Hand grenades, horseshoes, etc., meaning their predictions are within a perfectly reasonable range in my eyes.

of course they nailed it once they were only forecasting out to oh say....2 hours....but there seemed to be a lack of confidence throughout the whole ordeal...at least thats what i sensed.....

but all said and done...they COULD have done alot worse:) .....

I don't know, they managed to get the right people evacuated, for Frances, although I thing Charley surprised the people south of us. I think they were under evacuation orders too though.

They should stop putting the line in the middle of the track.
