Looks like it's going to curve West after moving up the Florida
peninsula and stay over Central Georgia for a while.
That might help Lanier out a little.
We need the storm to come straight up the state and then STOP over N
Georgia.
This is an interesting storm. I was just looking at Havana and Key
West radar - there appears to be a northerly wall building, but there
doens't seem to be any convection south and not a lot of feeder bands.
Looking at the individual cell tracks, there doesn't appear to be any
closure to the wall - low pressure, yeah, but no "eye" if you will.
I think, and being an amateur at this which means it's probably
bullfeathers, that the southerly wind shear at 30-40K feet was
stronger than they anticipated which is ripping the storm apart.
Well, forecast that son of bitch to stop over N. GA.
I doubt you will get much of this in Hotlanta. They do have it hooking
back into Georgia around Brunswick but if what I am seeing here, there
is not much water in this. It is just drizzling in Estero at 0100EDT

It could hook out back into the Gulf - unlikely though.
From a historical perspective, it seems to be following the same track
as a storm in 1911.
As long as it dumps some water in Falls Lake and on my lawn. But not today.
Gotta go enjoy my retirement on the golf course!
