 That’s not the size of the hurricane. It’s the cone of potential impact, meaning that the eye of the storm is expected to hit somewhere within that area. 
 It just means they can’t forecast more accurately yet where exactly it will hit 
 Yes I agree. I’m saying hurricanes don’t start in the gulf like this one did. They start in the Atlantic and move into the gulf 99% of the time. 
 Hurricanes have and do form in the Gulf of Mexico 🤷‍♂️
