Read this post to the residents of the Florida keys. They lost everything.
There is severe flooding all over the states of Florida and Georgia and South Carolina. millions of people will be without power for at least a week. Northern Alabama, southern Tennessee was under a tropical storm watch. When was the last time that happened?
The atmosphere is always changing, always. It doesn't stop. And meteorology is an imperfect science. Open a met textbook and it clearly states that in the prologue.
The data used to predict the weather in 2150 is not even remotely close to the data used for short term hurricane forecasts. You're literally comparing an apple to an office chair.
Under the circumstances, this forecast was nailed two days before it hit. The landfall and track was only off by about 100 miles 1 WEEK before landfall.
