Looking at her now I dont find it hard to believe at all.
I second that.
Destruction5... I believe he is talking about how now the threat for TC landfall on the East Coast is going up...
I agree but do you all?

I didn't hear him say that at all. I heard him say that was the lowest he could see her getting.
>>He has an east coast bias. Anyone know why?
He said his updated landfall intensity forecast would shift the largest threat to the east coast of the US (presumably due to the SSTA's) but said he wasn't saying the Gulf would be closed down for the rest of the year.

Personally, I think as Mods, you guys should be above that kind of stuff.
As for bias, the bias was on the North Central, North Eastern and Southwestern FL coasts for the season. Unfortunately people try as hard as possible to twist everything Bastardi says into a bash thereby trying to make him look bad. Problem is, it's usually the people doing the bashing that end up being seen through like plastic wrap by those of us who actualyl pay attention to these things. JMO

Joe B. is very, very good
To set the record straight, Joe Bastardi was predicting that Emily would landfall just south of Brownsville while she was still down around Jamaica. No one is correct 100% of the time with regard to landfall and intensity, especially when they're pretty far out, however JB gets pretty darn close on nearly everything. There is a reason why he's in such demand. I'm curious about his quote about the east coast though. Where did you see that quote?

it's in regards to his "Deviation Ranking" it's a ranking that he gives
each section of coastline... He targeted the Central LA coast over to
Destin as the prime target area this year... over a month ago. He's
calling these hit locations MONTHS in advance... and hitting the Bulls
eye...
