    So you mean, I may not be able to return back? Well, that is a win-win situation for me. Thanks Mystery!

    Cantore's a wuss. Belize was 500 miles from where the eye came onshore. Once Belize City was out of the landfall cone, he should have hoofed it over to Cabo de Gracias a Dios or whatever that town in Nicaragua is called, shacked up in a mud hut and given us the REAL scoop.

    Should I be able to get out of Raliegh, N.C. by plane on Sunday night?

    Way too early to tell. Pretty much everyone on the East Coast has a chance at being affected. If I had to take a guess, Raleigh on Sunday night will probably be okay, but that depends on how soon this thing starts moving towards the coast and what kind of intensity it'll be. I suspect the Carolinas are the most likely target, but that could mean a typical OBX storm (moving anywhere from NNW to NNE), which would spare Raleigh. You may have a lot of company at RDU, though.

    This is scary and I talked to Cansportschick on this phone this morning. She is scared to go on her flight to New York.

    When on a plane, stay in your seat, stay buckled. Period.

    Which is why my home area (Hampton Roads) is going to get caught with its collective shorts down one year. Their experience with hurricanes have been storms working around the west side of the Bermuda high, making landfall on the Outer Banks and moving N to NNE, giving them the western (weaker) side of the storm, and usually one that's a bit weaker than it was at landfall, depending on where it makes landfall. It's been a long time since a major storm made an approach from the southeast, making a direct hit in Virginia Beach and giving them the dread northeast eyewall. When they happens, they won't know what to do.
