They just don't know which way it will go. Possible paths as of 11 hours ago are straight up the spine of Florida itself.
looking at this map, is about all the study needed.
Rush Limbaugh seems to think it is going to divert East of the coast and head out into the Atlantic. I normally don't tie things like this to Politics or political personalities, but in this case, he lives on that coast, so I imagine he's got a keen eye on it.
Surely you are kidding
Well? That pic right there shows two models that hit The Bahamas and turn straight North.
Admittedly, the latest updates to the models don't show those options...

Now, you may be wondering, "why is the official forecast so far to the left, when all of the other models had moved east?" The answer is the European model. This forecast system has superior hardware to run its calculations. But more importantly it has a method by which it better assimilates real-world data—observations from weather networks around the world, atmospheric soundings, reconnaissance aircraft, and much more—into its calculations.
The US analog to the European model is the Global Forecast System. It has a lower resolution, and it typically doesn't perform quite as well (proposed NOAA budget cuts will make matters worse, too). However, this GFS model has some benefits: it runs four times a day, and NOAA freely makes the data available to anyone who wants it. This is why GFS data appears on plots like the one above, but the proprietary European model does not.

Puerto Ricans have been told to plan for being without power for up to six MONTHS after this storm hits. Six. Months.

Infrastructure is not in the best shape there.
It looks like it's going to go the long way thru Cuba
smh. Haiti is also in its path.
Watching people totally unable to defend themselves get slammed is awful.

I forgot thAt was Kiffin's new team.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washing...story.html
It was a most unceremonious end to Kiffin's long-awaited debut.
Kiffin got off the team bus about two hours before kickoff wearing a tan suit, sunglasses and having the headphones in his ears blaring something from the iPhone he carried. Not long afterward, he tweeted a photo of a box holding new sneakers — Adidas' Yeezy Boost 350, size 12, part of the brand's collaboration with Kanye West, hence Kiffin's usage of the hashtag "thxkanye."
