Eye over Virgin Gorda. Took direct hit. Watching from TJUA PR.
 
Recon finding lower pressure this pass. I think we are going to run for a record if it continues. And where are all the ERCs? Are they happening differently or am I just missing them?

It's acting strange. I watched radar last night and one started and just wrapped and absorbed into the inner eyewall in a few hours.
 
Big SW shift on the 12z GEFS

06z

12z

Much tighter cluster, too. If you go up the middle, looks like it misses FL and hits between Myrtle Beach and NC.
 
To show the big west shift here is the the 06z GEFS and 12z

Ridge is stronger over the top and building SE, that traps it and forces wear/NW movement
 
^ I may be remembering incorrectly, but didn't Mike V. earlier in August say that he thought early Sept would be quiet due to MJO and/or the lack of a CCKW?
Like Brent, I'm thinking recurve likely east of the CONUS as of now.
Larry, has Sav ever had a direct hit from a major?? I seem to remember a slide by from a 3, but I don't recall a 4 or 5 even getting close. It would be bad news with all the increase in pop, and building all along there. T
