Those Skeetobite maps are awesome..BUT>>>>. don't place emphasis on linking a straight line from one forecast point to the next. The hurricane center themselves cautioned against this: Quote from the 5pm discussion: "USERS ARE CAUTIONED TO NOT FOCUS ON THE SPECIFIC FORECAST POINTS DUE TO FORECAST UNCERTAINTY...THE LARGE SIZE OF THE HURRICANE...AND BECAUSE JEANNE COULD TAKE A MORE ROUNDED PATH NEAR LANDFALL THAN IMPLIED BY SIMPLY CONNECTING THE 48 AND 72 HOUR FORECAST POINTS"
This would make a landfall MUCH further south on the Florida coast than the apparent St Augustine strike as viewed on Skeetobite's map (possibly the Melbourne area, followed by a scrape up the coast ala David in 1979)

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
