Hurricane Irma Only thread

Leaving Sarasota heading to Alabama. Currently 2 A.M and listening to Aqua Barbie girl. God bless my wife lol. Hope everybody stays safe and smart. Roads aren't terrible right now. The shoulder is open where we're currently at. Mile marker 400. If you see a little black Honda jamming out that's us!! Stay safe and be smart people.
 


Glad go hear that Miami may have dodged the worst of it. Though I suppose that means some poor people in the SW could get smashed instead

Yeah I'm glad the stadium and everybody on that side seemingly will get spared from the worst of it. For me and my family we are now dead center of where it's supposed to hit. Just like Charley in 2004. But if being a dolphins fan my whole life has taught me anything it's how to survive lol.

Good luck to everybody. And I'll see you all on November 19th now.

Fins up!!

My wife's parents live on Marco Island in the winter, they right on the canal. I can only imagine what's going to happen there
 
Looks like Miami and Broward folks dodged a major bullet here. Feel terrible for west coast who have been ravaged by hurricanes the past 2 decades.

Shout out to SoS for some great work in this thread informing us on the latest!
 
I haven't seen the GMO track. A wobble usually means nothing else but that the hurricane makes a quick jump and continuous on its track, just a tad parallel to the original track. I am tracking hurricanes since 1994 when the NHC entered its forecasts (as text only docs back then) on the internet. I used a software called Hurrtrak. I had to input everything manually. Took me almost 30 min to have a forecast track. LOL

A wobble can make a big difference close to land though. I remember Hurricane Erin in 1995 targeted Palm Beach County and just before landfall made quick jog to the north and hit Vero Beach instead. When a hurricane is pushed over land because of a wobble it could change its future significantly.
a) Is the eye completely on land? If only a portion is on land it still gets some of its fuel from the ocean. The change may or may not be just a parallel track. In this case a tad further to the west.
b) If the eye completely on land it will have an effect on intensity and internal structure. Depending how long Irma is on land it could lose some structure or a lot. Right now Irma is steered by upper level atmospheric patterns. If Irma would lose enough structure mid level atmospheric patterns would become the prevailing steering influence.
Matthew had about 20-30 mile wobble to the East right before it got to us. That small wobble probably saved the Daytona area from mass destruction.
 
My prayers are with the west coast of FL, gl and stay safe. I have family in Naples & i'm more worried now than when I thought I was getting directly hit.

Not for nothing, every meteorologist in the world was wrong here, no?
 
If I was in NY I would start making preparations (buying water, extra gas) now for Hurricane Jose.
