They expect it to land somewhere between 41 degrees, 30' N - 81 degrees, 41' W AND 41 degrees, 23' N - 83 degrees, 05' W.

I'm a South Florida boy, there is just something about horizontal rains over 150 mph that isn't right.

I'm guessing OVM doesn't like hurricanes for a few reasons:
1) Lowers his fuel economy when heading into the wind...
2) Sprinters tend to blow over in high winds
3) He doesn't want to scratch up his new windshield.

Pretty unique storm if it's going to make landfall somewhere between Akron and Findlay Ohio.
