Hopefully it will just fizzle out. I think we've had enough weather related excitement for a while.

The forecast tracks I see on VentuSky are showing it moving further to the west between Texas and Louisiana.
Unfortunately, when a hurricane moves into the Gulf of Mexico, it makes landfall somewhere either in the USA or Mexico. I don't think I have ever seen one just dissipate over water, or turn around and head south and then out into the Atlantic.
Hopefully for everyone impacted the most it will strengthen to will be a category 1 storm.

Well maybe. The local forecast is only calling for a 60 percent chance of rain through the weekend, and mentioning that tropical storm conditions are possible.
One of the guys on one of my other forums is kind of still got a raw nerve over the forecasts for Irma. He is over in Port Charlotte and followed the suggestions to evacuate. Went over to Ft. Lauderdale, and you know how that turned out. I'm hoping that another big storm doesn't kick up, because a lot of people here in Florida will likely choose to just ignore what will appear to be the "same ole' hype" about an approaching storm. Heck, I'm thinking that the moving target projections for Irma probably earned a lot of companies a lot of money from Florida residents either stocking up on supplies, or else evacuating and spending money on motels, restaurants and gasoline. I'm sure they won't mind more of that. Not to mention all the internet weather services that had tons more traffic and likely more money coming in from advertisers. Damn shame to think people would take advantage of something like this, but people ARE people. Seems many of them are just rats walking on two legs.

Very little doubt THAT will happen.
One good thing, though, is that once it gets up around here in north Florida (or where ever it really winds up making landfall), it looks like it's going to move quickly through the area.
