The "loop back" thing was always a statistically tiny probability, yet some of the media and emergency preparedness people chose to highlight it repeatedly. I was once again underwhelmed by the media coverage, which consisted of many hours of babble with little useful information. Whenever I tuned in (or went to a website) to find out eye location, windspeeds, track projections, or the status of evacuation routes. I instead found some gal or guy blathering about storm danger or interviewing somebody saying they would or would not evacuate. They could have been providing up-to-the minute info on storm positions, time of arrival at various points and expected wind speeds, least congested evacuation highways, places that still had hotel rooms available, etc., but instead of useful public service they chose to "cover the story".
