So let me guess...pinpoint forecasting for smaller hurricanes is more difficult because the major impact radius is smaller?

Right, the eye may get a bit larger, but it's a fairly small storm in terms of radius of max winds. But, it's very intense.

Cozumel has been hit by intense hurricanes before and will be hit again. It’ll survive. Their friend will probably be scared shitless tho. Wilma raked them for hours as an upper end cat 4 and it didn’t level everything. This will be a fast moving buzzsaw.

looks to pass NE of them so they would miss the eye/eyewall.

Hopefully that is the case. If it does hit the island, the eastern portion and north eastern portion would be ideal. It's virtually uninhabited. Most of the population is on the west part of the island. We work for the airlines and I asked her if she would like to fly out and come stay with me for a few days, but she doesn't want to leave. I'll definitely be glued to the radar tonight.
