In laymen’s terms is he basically saying some reorganization and possibly restrengthening of the storm may take place?

Yes....he's saying don't be misled by how he looks today.

The 3k NAM is much closer to the GFS/ICON and considerably further west at 60 hrs than the 12/32k NAM's, which are east of even the UKIE and Euro....

Clearly a shift west....and it looked like it could happen on the GEFS earlier.

Down to a category 2 now with 110 mph winds. But NHC notes:
Data from aircraft and buoys indicate that the hurricane is growing
in size. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95
km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up
to 175 miles (280 km).

Bridges in CHS never "close" but for high profile bridges above 65' at 30 MPH sustained winds high profile vehicles are restricted and at 40 MPH winds law enforcement abandons them and it is at your own risk to cross.
The only exceptions would be for entering Folly Beach today starting at 4pm you need a Hurricane Resident Pass. IOP and Sullivan's Island have not announced any such restrictions yet.

Must have changed something....my family member was stuck on James Island with Matthew....and it wasn't fun, even with that one off shore.
Samaritan’s Purse from North Wilkesboro is sending a plane to the Bahamas with two community water filtration devices that turn salt water into drinking water and shelter material. They are waiting for the right weather conditions. If you would like to donate check their website. The DC-8 plane will use the Wilkes County Airport.
If you would like to help but don’t have the money to spare consider letting Facebook donate $5 on your birthday by choosing Samaritan’s Purse as a fundraiser.

Heartbreaking looking through the list of missing persons in the Bahamas on that google doc and the posts on the forum on StormCarib. Early days still but it just seems hopeless there right now

Interesting. I saw them at the base of the Cosgrove bridge sometime between now and 2016 and just kind of assumed they closed it. Good to know though!
Volunteers 14 and older receive free meals and sleeping headquarters in the Bahamas if you volunteer at least 3 nights for storm debris removal or tarp repair. Apply on Samaritans Purse website help is needed.
Officially track keeps it just offshore, watches and warnings up now all along the SE coast..

12z RGEM (through hour 24) is significantly further west and closer to the FL coastline than 6z.

Yeah, these west trends so far today are not good.
ICON might be 25 miles east but still wants to travel along or just inland of the coast...

Unfortunately that list also includes Icyclone (Josh). Just saw that on FB. Hope he and others will be found alive.

I was getting ready to comment that it's definitely East of 6z, but the eye follows the NC coastline from Wilmington through the outer banks. Looks like the GFS to me.
