Models have been a mess with this storm. First they have it slamming into Miami - Andrew style, then into SC / NC / and now trending to make no CONUS landfall at all.

GFS has been stellar compared to a typical tropical scenario... picking up on this system WELL before it developed and had a good idea 8-10 days out.

But it could get it's record stained by the "after a streak of 30 something runs with a US landfall...Irene went OTS"

Do the Bahamas produce much friction?

Minimal at best. They're pretty flat.

All the islands are low and flat, with ridges that usually rise no more than 15 to 20 m (49 to 66 ft). The highest point in the country is Mount Alvernia, formerly called Como Hill, which has an altitude of 63 metres (207 ft) on Cat Island.

its almost comical how much this thing has shifted east

yea.. comical. or depressing... perhaps both.

Shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for this one.

well.. whenever the next Fran or Hugo comes ashore, I will be there, if I'm still living in central NC.
