Miles from the center. its not just about the center, its stretched well outside that center as well. and the track thats really focused on a couple things, the track, weve had a high pressure system out of the atlantic, and thats what caused the is system to continue to move west. however, a fast system, if we had a fast system, it would have continued to move in that direction. because of this slowdown, the inherent characteristics of these storms, sometimes they just slow down, and its allowi...

Storm surge. perhaps -- rather 20 feet of storm surge. 30 inches of rainfall and relentless major hurricane winds, for not only hours but days because this storm is going to slow down, and thats where im concerned, not only for the bahamas, but the east coast of florida, and the latest track has this storm moving a little bit more to the west, so instead of focusing on the center, i need everyone to focus on this cone because if this storm jogs a little bit, say, 30 miles to the west, were not t...

We are trying to forecast that to get it down to a precise area to make that right-hand turn. we have to look at different models being run. different times of storms. thats why this forecast is difficult. and its why we say we have to look at the entire cone of the storm, not just the center of the storm. the national hurricane center has done a great job of forecasting. we are talk about something thats thousands of miles away that will impact where this right-hand turn takes place. if you are...

Feet of rainfall. thats the take away here. we havent had a really good solid forecast here. i can tell you whats going to happen in 12 hours, but what happens in 24 hours, 48 hours, still yet to be determined. dont focus on the center. focus on the whole cone, and that means the coast is not clear for florida, georgia, and the carolinas. so important to listen to your local weather forecasters. they are trying to save lives here and your local officials, especially now in florida. i have a feel...

With the path. for that reason, richard, im not thinking the hurricane center is going to make much of a shift. we have two other models, hurricane specific models. that does make a landfall. theyll keep the east coast of florida in the cone, but i dont expect the line to move too much. >> the changes in the last 24 hours better or worse if youre a resident of the southeast? >> if im a resident of carolina to the wilmington area, your forecast is worse. better chance youll go through hurricane c...
