Why do I get the feeling that this hurricane is going to be a wash-out....

It's not well organized and it's hitting alot of islands on it's way to Florida which would also slow it down.

I think there will be alot of wind & rain. But if the hurricane doesn't hit then all the fundies will claim it was God they prayed to that kept the hurricane from hitting.

They make it up as they go. Most of them think meteorology is about meteors.

gusty winds, and possibility of tornados to FL west coast even if its weak and stays offshore. And it could gain strength before making landfall on north gulf coast.
