Dora the Explorer, or Dorian the Destroyer?

Before the storm even entered the Caribbean, I called it as Cat 3 making landfall somewhere between Amelia Island FL and Jekyll Island GA. One of the latest Euro model runs has it running parallel and grazing the coast all the way up to St. Augustine before turning inland, so I may not be too far off.

In the back of my head, I keep thinking that it is going to take a sharp left turn and take the Andrew path through Homestead and then out into the gulf.

For anyone in Florida, my suggestion is to make sure that you're fueled up for a possible evacuation and have multiple routes printed out on paper for when the time comes. Don't count on your smartphone having enough bandwidth to do anything productive online once everyone starts up Google Maps or Waze at the same time and hits the road.....
