There's a good bit of shear happening just north of the storm. You can see it in the loop posted above. The outer bands are getting torn apart on the west side of the peninsula and north of the storm on the Atlantic side. I figure by in the morning it'll be headed NNE. I can't imagine how long the night will seem in the Bahamas.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
