This could have been so much worse, if it wasn't for that ULL.
I agree. Bonnie was a small storm moving over very warm waters, so if the upper level enironment was favourable rapid intensification could have occured.
So, Bonnie doesn't make a second landfall and instead dissipates over the northern GOM. Bonnie's fast speed was really her downfall as it kept her close the ULL which caused persistantly high shear over the system.
