Unless it's a trick of the eyes, I see a more northwest wobble the last hour.

This is a rare event. I believe Nicole will be one of only three November hurricanes to strike Florida in 100 years.

Reminds me of when Frances had a large ragged eye on the east coast back in 2004. Not nearly as strong, of course.

Nicole will strengthen over the Gulf Stream, especially with the tighter core.

I found them on google images. Trust me, I'm the exact same way. I used to spend hours and hours going through those Unisys tracks. I miss them.

I still think we don't see much consolidation until Wednesday.

Video Update on Nicole

Looks like the NHC is thinking this becomes another hurricane. Assuming Lisa doesn't have time to reach Category 3, that would put us at 13/7/2.
