These things change fast. My house was at ground zero when Gloria came up into CT in 85. After hitting LI , she jumped up in forward speed and blew through in a couple of hours. It went from a forward speed of about 25 to almost 60 in half an hour. Still had a big tree from neighbor's yard come down , took out the power for a week and just missed crushing my car.
The track predictions are pretty iffy. Something can send the storms off at an unexpected angle. A big wide one like this still gets us , even with a major shift though.
At this point , a reduction in force looks like our best chance.
Prepare for the worst, hope for better.
