Remember all the storms we have seen all the years modeled at day 10 then lost then come back, yea still watching. Don't know about a colossal waste of time lol but its early to write anything off.

Who cares if it hits us or not.  It's a TC to track in the Atlantic Basin.  Better than the weather doldrums we've been having since May.

while not hugely elevated ... that eastern 1/8th of that Cuban land mass sports elevations upward of 4-6 K feet.  

not sure if that is enough to really blunt Matthew's legacy here ... but i do find it funny that fate would have this thing move bodily across just perfectly wrongly like that - ahaha

Yup.  Could be quite wet in Cuba if it does track over that area.

I'm not sure why it's surprising that it is tough to get a landfalling system in New England. Geography is against you, because based on prevailing flow a system is likely to make landfall in the Carolinas first and weaken before arriving in New England. Latitude means the westerlies are a bigger threat. Colder water kills the heat engine of a tropical system. 

I'm paraphrasing but that 1938 reanalysis found something like 1% of days every year feature a set up conducive to a 1938 track. And that's not even factoring whether a tropical system even exists in the right area to latch onto that track.

because (regardless of real statistics...) someodd 85% of forum users are not educated and lack this sort of analytic filter with this stuff that you're describing. 

which says nothing about their native intelligence, character, and/or their eventual station in the field of interest ... just that at any given time, your dealing with the common populate.  

more over, we live in a kind of 'dangerous' era (for lack of better word);  information from multiple non-refereed sources (include our's truly, unfortunately) is replete with 'reasonable' sounding and well-written utter bullschit - to put it nicely.  but dark humor aside, much of the hypothetical 85 percentile is also highly gifted with a passion for weather events - particularly of an extreme nature ... then enters all that emotional vesting crap Will was talking about, and the combination of lacking that analytic filter et al with that passion, it follows from logic that content/posting might contain expectation idiosyncrasies.

Most hurricane's that have impacted SNE recently all passed North of the Islands. The list includes Bob, Gloria, Floyd, Irene and the LI Express. In fact, if you look at all of those tracks, they are all very similar. Sandy is really the only exception I can think of.

Thats climo and Sandy was surge damage primarily except on the immediate coast where winds gusted to near 100 in SNE. I disagree with Tip on the 85% figure, in here maybe 10% don't know our cane Climo.

I don't think it's surprising to anyone haha.  I would think most know what they are dealing with.
