Heh, let's hope it goes along the currently projected path, which has it a little more south than yesterday.

This is a pretty cool hurricane tracking tool, you can see where previous canes went, how fast the winds were, etc. Some of them took some pretty fancy turns, what I wish they included on a tool like this, I wish they also had the projected path highlighted at each stage, so you can tell where the model was predicting the cane to go. I mean, look at the '04 cane Jeanne... did anyone have a clue where that thing was going? Can you imagine the big sigh of relief from Florida on 9/21 when it turned due east... and then the big "oh crap!" on 9/25 when it circled around west again?

Good news, the sandbags John requested have arrived at the datacenter.
