The latest European model, which many meteorologists consider better and more accurate than the North American model, show it hitting around Wilmington. The North American model shows it slightly north of that. It’s still early, but I would say to anyone in the general current projected pathway to get ready - now. Anything else is whistling through the graveyard.
With the upcoming midterms, this is Trump’s chance to shine. FEMA needs to preposition supplies and start staging scenarios on what to expect along the coast. Just showing preparation and him getting on TV and showing his concern for everyone will go a long way. I know it sounds a bit touchy-feely, but Katrina killed the GOP as they were blamed more than Nagin and Blanco.

According to the weather guys the GFS (North American model) has done a much better job with Flo’s track. Just saying.
I think its extremely hard to pinpoint the actual track of a big storm like this one.Would not surprise me if the track changes somewhat several times before hitting.Even then big storms wobble and its almost impossible to tell exactly where they will go.
