Don't jump my case just stating what I heard last night

Watched Joe B last night around 10:00pm and he still insist on a more W landfall than what most experts are saying. Is he on to something?
Thoughts and or comments welcome :)

Local mets here are saying we are "not out of the woods yet", way to early to call it. All but one that is!!!

I think Joe B will focus on areas E of LA this morning. The model consensus and consistenty makes it very difficult to see a LA landfall.

Looks like the Peninsula of Florida should be OK now.....moving probably at 300 degrees.

I kinda doubt he jumps ship actually, until Dennis moves into the Gulf. Nothing has changed that dramatically since he first started calling LA, so I seriously doubt he will change his tune, not today anyway.

From what I see, JB really doesn't go by models as much as others do. He's been thinking pretty much the same thing the entire time.

why the insistance on calling areas OK all the time? (this isn't really directed towards you Steve H. just the board in general)

These storms are somewhat sporatic and move different ways left and right on the way to the final stop. I don't think anyone is truly "OK" until its on land somewhere. Just give it time folks...don't worry, he is going somewhere.

Exactly loon! I'm getting really tired and aggrevated seeing these posts such as "Out of the woods now?" or "off the hook now?". All posts like that should be locked IMO.

Its a bit premature I suppose, but movement seems more toward the west now, and models have shifted left. That is an assumption on my part, but I've been in Florida some time now, and this isn't Charlie. But all eyes should watch him until he clear 86W. Next week we'll be talking about Emily, which may be of more concern to the east coast 8-)
