No you could not have done better. Believe it or not, the NHC is still in the learning phase of predicting what these storms will do. They are pretty good at 1-3 days out, after that it gets difficult. This storm is doing kinda like Ivan did in figuring where and when the turn will occur. If it turns at 1 degree just a little left way down there that means the difference between Mobile Bay or Ft. Walton for final landfall.
