decides to follow its suggested path laid out by the National Hurricane Center or not, it is sure to be bad for somebody.  I can’t help but feel anguish for the people of the outlying islands and Cuba (which as I write this are being pounded by this major storm).  These storms are given a name because they are truly alive.  The muscle their way through whatever they want and spare some for reasons that are tough to explain.  To all of my friends and family in the South East including the people of Cuba, stay alert and stay tough.  It is so hard being a spectator from the left coast.  Good luck everyone.
