When a storm deapens the height of the column decreases because of the lower pressure and you can see that from fix to fix.

Every jog to the north should be good news for Terrebonne and further west.

How come the NHC does not show that? Was it gusts and not sustained?

Maybe I'm wrong but I remember in years past that the very end of a loop is always very deceiving for direction. I don't remember why though.

If it's necessary, will there be enough time to get everyone out?
