I'm sorry. Believe me, I understand. We're looking at the projected path and shaking our heads at the seeming improbability of it.
But... One thing I know about hurricanes is they don't like the cooler waters of the gulf in mid to late October. If it does enter the gulf proper, it's likely to weaken as it moves north, and definitely as it moves closer to land.
Do your grandparents live directly on the coast? Although I know the toll that a hurricane can have even if it's a miss, what with evacuations and difficult living conditions.
