Gulf water is already 85 degrees.
Hurricanes love warm water-- season starts in June--
Yeah we got a great head start this year every single day of Febuary felt like April weather , many 65* night time temps. mid to upper 70's daytime. - that'll do it .
i've always figured the perfect strike would hit savannah head-on, roll up i-16 to macon, turn slightly and roll up i-75 to atlanta. turn eastward and roll up i-85 through greenville, and onto charlotte, nc. and spread out.
but that event hardly ever happens.
charleston is more likely to be hit.
