T/S Debby - Jacksonville and Northern Florida in the Proverbial Barrel for the 2nd time in a month

I keep forgetting that we're at the beginning of Hurricane Season, having already gone thru storm preparation and recovery with T/S Beryl about 4 weeks ago. So here comes T/S Debby, with similar patterns as Beryl, except that Debby is Gulf-based. Where Debby makes landfall is the unanswered question as I post this projection, with a wide area centered around Florida's Panhandle as a candidate for lots of wind and rain evolving over the next five days. (I didn't want to wish our Texan neighbors any harm, but originally I was kind of excited at the possibility of movie remakes of "Debby Does Dallas".) As with Beryl, T/S Debby is excepted to diminish in strength as it approaches and makes landfall, not quite reaching 75mph hurricane strength.
