I think people don't worry as much when it is still a tropical storm so close to arrival, but I've been telling people for a few days that if it turned north and rode the gulf stream this way that it would intensify before landfall. I tend to not be worried if they predict a landfall in Wilmington, but when they predict Myrtle or Charleston, it makes me leery, since a little wobble puts the most intense side of the storm right on us.
