The 'dangerous quarter' only applies to vessels at sea?

Don't get Haggie's hopes up!

Isabel's doing some normal fluctuations in strength and
is down to a cat three right now. However, once it
gets over the Gulf Stream where the water temps
are in the upper eighties it will strengthen up probably
to a cat 4 again. Also it looks like the upper lever
atmosphere conditions will become more favorable
as it closes in on the coast by Thursday. If it goes
where the official NOAA track shows it going, watch out!
It will probably be a strong cat 3 at landfall.

Haggie is in for a pounding from the dangerous quarter
and the storm surge will be very great with Easterly
winds piling the water up against the shore and
into the Bay. If she stays aboard she's in for a rough
ride.
