I would guess(tm) that they are also disaster movie fans.

View of North America centered rougly on Florida: Note that this displays predicted storm behavior and not observed behavior. Plenty of room for errors and discrepancies.
If you move the day/time marker along the bottom of the screen, you can see what the computahs predict for the path of the storm. Or, you can just click the "play" arrow (lower left) and it will move forward in time automagically.
Left click the mouse anywhere to get the predicted wind speed. Windy currently offers three forecast models (NAM, ECMWF and GFS) which often produce quite different predictions.
I've been playing with the models for about an hour. All 3 models predict that Hurricane Isis is going to decrease in intensity as it mows down Cuba on it's way to the west coast of Florida on Sunday night. It's still going to make a mess of Florida, but not as big a mess as previously expected. Also, hurricane Jose looks like it's going to move north and wander around in mid Atlantic Ocean.
