It's still moving basically due west, with a storm so strong wobbles will happen.

So you want to know if it will hit Louisiana?

I wish the damn thing would just start moving due north and basically miss everyone.

Are we now at the "point of no return" for the hope that this thing will turn north and east and go quietly out to sea and miss the US altogether?

Yeah both of those are good points. Also with winds between close foothills/mountains there is potential for increased wind speeds due to wind tunneling effect.

Checked the Antigua airport and looks like they are still flying in/out and have increased the departure flights. So that's good.

Edit: Spelling

Not at all. While not looking nearly as likely as a Florida strike, that possibility is still open through it's approach toward the Bahamas and Florida.

Some models still showing that as a possibility as of 15 minutes ago. Looking more and more like the Florida peninsula is gonna get rocked.

I'd say there is very very very little chance this does not impact the continental US at this point. Even if it shifted east and crazy turn north earlier, it would still impact the coast and hence, would not go quietly.

Thanks for the replies. I'll continue to read this thread religiously like I've been doing. Looks like if we were to fly out any later than Monday, we might not get to fly into Charlotte airport.

This storm looks to head over all those island chains and Cuba south of the U.S. won't all that time over land really weaken this?

Looking for signs of Irma losing a little steam, and no, not really there to be found.

It's got a healthy outflow channel setting up to the NE with increasingly cold cloudtops filling in. Convection still strong wrapping around the east side of the circulation and she looks to be expanding the overall cloudcover. Eye perhaps contracting a bit, but that indicates continued strengthening.

Looks like we gots a healthy five until the eventual eyewall replacement.

Not that it means a lot at this point, but at least the moon phase is not in sync with the arrival in Florida. No full moon or new moon (although there is tonight in the Leeward), so the tidal pull won't pull the tide up higher as it pulls in the tidal surge.
