Having been through more than a dozen hurricanes, I would not be surprised! Hurricanes are extremely unpredictable!

As you said, hurricanes are unpredictable but usually, a hurricane loses energy when it travels over land mass. I don't get all that apprehensive when there is a hurricane staring us down. I feel safer here than on the coast.
