I mean lets be realistic here. Yes the GFS is most likely to be overdone on the pressure, however even if you take it and jack the pressure up 40-50mb, you are still talking about a Cat 2 re-emerging off the coast of FL, paralleling the coast of GA and based off 180, making another landfall somewhere in the vicinity of Hilton Head area of SC. This has the makings of a catastrophic and life threatening event for millions of people alone prime real estate.

Just a reminder about the GFS and HMON over deepening tendicies that many agencies including NHC have noted. 

This.  Also the initial GFS pressure looks a little high.  Doesn't have it down to the current pressure until passing the islands.  Gives me GFDL flashbacks from 15 years ago.

So does the trough help to pull the storm more NW once making a second landfall in GA/SC or does it help boot it out?  Looks like it would help pull the storm in more. 

Verbatim, it would probably cause a more northward (but still slightly nw'ward) movement vs. the last 4 runs of the GFS....ie would head into PA/NY states vs. buried into WV/TN/KY....

The trend after LF would be a drop to less than Cat 1 in less than 24 hours.

The rains will be a huge issue along with uprooted trees.

Also, numerous category 1 tornadoes in the front right quarter.

This will be a fast mover so no 30"+ rains as with Harvey.

So theoretically she could still be a high end TS up in PA?

Question, due to this being a large spread out cane, would the downsloping off the Cuba mts aid in the dryslotting on the SE quadrant as it starts its turn toward SoFL weakening it a bit, versus a more compact cane that would have minimal impacts? 

Storms don't have to be right over Cuba to feel the impacts of the mountains.  Dry air entrainment is possible even likely to some degree, but the water is warm and the general airmass will be favorable so disruptions will likely be somewhat minimal if the core stays 30, 40 or 50 miles north of land in Cuba.  There will likely be some impact though.
