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.

Prepare for the worst, hope for better.
Gloria blew through but wiped out Buzzards Bay.

Eye wall replacement under way. Strengthening is a definite possibility.
