Almost time to panic.
This track could easily shift west, all it would take would be a delay in the course change:

I think it's a matter of the forward (westward) speed of TD9. The faster it moves the more westward it is when it runs into the front and gets swept NE. This should resolve itself pretty soon.

People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

With the projected scenario we (along the Alabama coast) should be on the 'dry' side of the storm and only receive larger than normal swells Wed-Thur.
How big remains to be seen, but is problematic to the track and strength.
Right now the forecast is only for 4 to 5 feet...

There is ZERO to panic about from this.

Everybody say hello to Hurricane Hermine!
Some of those folks in the Big Bend might have cause to panic... Maybe just little.Ragnar Benson:
