Has anyone found anything related to contact with Barbuda? Very concerned for them. Last I seen.... The last contact was at 2am.

Yep that is my thought and honestly they should do a press release ensuring people something like that never happens again. Ridiculous.
Hoping those latest projections showing it turning north sooner and skimming the east side of the state remain. My pops plan is to ride out the storm in Miami. We rode out Hurricane Andrew together, hiding under a mattress while the roof disappeared. I begged him to fly up north to me and avoid Irma, but like most South Floridians that went through Andrew, he's stubborn. Stay safe Dolfans.
Irma is moving west-northwestward or 285/14 kt. A strong high
pressure ridge extending from the central Atlantic westward is
expected to keep Irma moving west-northwestward during the next 2
to 3 days. The track guidance is in good agreement during this
period and the NHC track is along the southern edge of the guidance
envelope in best agreement with the ECMWF and HFIP corrected
consensus model. After that time, a shortwave trough moving
southward over the east-central United States is expected to erode
the western portion of the ridge. As a result, Irma is forecast to
turn northwestward and northward, but there is still a fair amount
of uncertainty regarding the exact timing and location of
recurvature. The NHC forecast has been shifted eastward to be in
better agreement with the latest model guidance, however it should
be noted that there are numerous GEFS and ECMWF ensemble members
that take Irma over and/or west of Florida. The updated NHC track
is in best agreement with the latest ECMWF ensemble mean. Users are
reminded that the average NHC track errors at days 4 and 5 are
about 175 and 225 statue miles, respectively.

Dolphins currently deflating indoor practice facility -- "the bubble" -- for 1st time in 12 years. They last took this precaution for Wilma.
