>I have a bad feeling about this one. I don't think the steering models work very well with very powerful storms. If you recall, they chanted this "it will go north" mantra with Andrew and it never happened until it swept into the Gulf. Seems to me it's doing whatever it wants. There are already mandatory evac orders for the coast in south Florida (you hear that, Roi??).
I didn't realize how big this sucker was until just now. But with a monster like this, you're right, I wouldn't take any chances at all, no matter what the "most likely path" is said to be. And I agree, the larger the storm, the less likely it is to be influenced by other weather steering factors...
