Intensity measurements are way less reliable than position guidance

it's not... that's why everyone's talking about puckered buttholes all along the GOM coast
Exactly, a few days ago NC was taking the full brunt. We are still nervous. Anybody from TX to NC should be. A Cat 5 scares the crap out of everybody.

talking with the Navy, and their projections is it taking a hard turn off of Cuba and riding up the east coast of Florida. I asked him why I should trust the Navy more than any other predictions, and he said they have a lot of ships they have to be concerned with and they probably have better tracking techniques.

I'm in Tampa. If the storm turns north up the West coast, we are screwed with the storm surge. At what point do you make the decision to leave? We had very little time with Charlie.

I've been lurking in this thread for awhile.


From what I've gathered, wherever this bitch makes landfall will most likely be wiped off the map. Frick this sucks

I'm sure the people monitoring the weather aren't the ones steering the ships.

Have you seen that weather underground article about a Cat 4 at high tide? Absolutely insane.

This is THEORETICAL in general and not a forecast of the Irma storm surge.

Have a plan in action and everything packed and ready to go. Leave in the dead of night on Wednesday. Rather safe than sorry and the earlier the better.

Barbuda looks like it may take a direct hit.
