This one formed in the Gulf. It didn't enter the Gulf and regather strength after glancing Cuba or Cancun; but formed off about Vera Cruz on the Mexican Coast. Now it's going - Straight EAST?!

I've seen Hurricanes hit Cancun or Cuba, get stronger, and turn West or North or even SW once or twice. I've never seen a hurricane form off Mexico and go firmly East.

I've never heard of a Hurricane hit the Gulf somewhere but dump most it's water in Appalachia rather than along the Coast. I've never seen or heard storms or hurricanes cause damage on the heavily wooded, very moist, well drained mountains by running DOWN the mountains instead of in the lower elevations by flooding UP in the larger rivers. I've never seen a hurricane look as wierdly organized as the last one - it either keeps together but gets weaker, or dissipates and disorganizes after it hits land.
