This site[1] has some really good info and daily videos with the rundown of the latest forecast

#5Hurricanes rotate counter clockwise, so the highest wind speeds and storm surge tend to occur to the "right" or on the east/southeast side of the eye path. Currently Miami looks to be right in the center of this danger zone, so just get out now while you still can.
Yes it's a few days out and they can and usually do veer off, but this one is not worth riding out.

#7I've got a Christmas vacation booked in Providenciales and I give it a 50/50 chance the VRBO I booked will still be there.
People are trying to get off Grand Turk as fast as they can. The airlines have overbooked outbound flights and the airport is closing on Thursday for 48 hours. I'm hoping the damage is minimal. outoftacos mentions that eastern sides of the islands take more of a hit which gives some solace here.

a hard steer to the right would be nice... but many of them do a slow steer and would get me right in it... http://www.stuartflelectrician.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/1...
