It seems like the forecasting has improved substantially in the last 5-10 years. It used to seem like every 3 hour forecast had a substantially different path, and it made for lots of people preparing for storms that never came, and would start to get complacent about preparations with to much "crying wolf". Harvey and Irma (so far) have been following their forecast pretty tightly, and there haven't been many changes from forecast to forecast.
