>>>monsters that did not curve to the north after getting into the gulf?<<< Maybe we get the best of both worlds. From the latest summary below, a Cat 5 south of Cuba at 6:00 AM Monday (much less into Tuesday AM) will have all the requisite attributes to cause a panic and spike on Wall Street. No short will fail to cover by 10:00 AM Monday - because as you suggest - it might just hook north - if it hadn't done so already. If if fizzles after that as indicated, then the human loss will be minimized. You have to feel for Jamaica - certain Cat 5 visit on Sunday.

Have been through the watch and guess scenario too many times to keep it all straight. For unpredictability, check out the wanderings of Elena in 1985. I left NOLA on Sunday before Katrina came in; 13 hour drive to Houston (370 miles). Decided to leave not because of the forecast but because of the fear in the newsreaders' eyes when they gave the updates. katytrader
