I give up, I'm not listening to hours of the weather people telling us that a 9 foot surge is coming. We had mandatory evacuation in my area for Irma and although the eye passed very close, there was no surge at all. We left for Ft. Lauderdale and it was terrible over there, high winds and flooded streets. The power at my house was off for a few hours, but in Ft. Lauderdale it was out for days. I could have stayed home and saved the family a lot of grief.
 
The forecast tracks I see on VentuSky are showing it moving further to the west between Texas and Louisiana.

Unfortunately, when a hurricane moves into the Gulf of Mexico, it makes landfall somewhere either in the USA or Mexico. I don't think I have ever seen one just dissipate over water, or turn around and head south and then out into the Atlantic.

Hopefully for everyone impacted the most it will strengthen to will be a category 1 storm.

Well, the latest forecast track is being consistent with the last few I looked at in that the forecast track is gradually moving further and further west of the Tallahassee area. Not that this is what the people in coastal Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas want to see, though.

Yeah, the track is looking more and more like what the Ventusky models were showing a few days ago. Forecast track has moved even further west.

Well, Nate is now officially a hurricane. Looks like the forecast track inched a bit eastward in the latest update.

Looks like Nate is strengthening now and forecast to make landfall in Mississippi tonight with winds around 105mph.
