I'm going to catch some crap for doubting the wisdom of a pilot, but
even the smartest of us do what others think weird. There was a poster
who moved his plane to Dothan, Alabama which is 160 miles east of
Mobile. My immediate question was why not fly due west into Texas
since these monsters tend to move north and east.


Because I would have had to fly 475 miles to Houston and stay there a
day or two. No need to do that when Dothan was well clear of the
storm's easternmost forecast track and I could rent a car and drive
right back home.

Went back and got the airplane today.
