Recon should not have left. The two quick passes recon made before it left just shortly after getting there indicated that the storm moved nearly due east, approaching water again. Granted, it could very well be a wobble as the convection is trying to redevelop a lot more in the 9:45UTC image. Keep that in mind anyone who is in the path, things may yet get worse. Not sure which way it is moving, but the satellite shows intense convection and unlike what we sometimes see with landfall systems as a last gasp, this is occurring over the area of the storm that is still over water and wrapping around onto land.
