Wished is was heading east. These storms hate FL and always move away. Outflow is starting to look good as the upper levels favor it. But not enough time and miles over water to become something super strong.

The craziest storm would be if Hannah moved slowly east to Tampa and intensified as a category 5.

Never gonna happen. Our worst case will be a super strong storm just west of Cuba coming at us from the southwest.
