re: Hurricane Irma - Spinning Down

Seems like Hispaniola is having an impact on Irma at the moment. Recon passes haven't found winds as extreme as they had the last few days.
Could be a sampling error, but a better sign than a strengthening storm.

My co-workers family lives on the coast in Melbourne. I keep asking if they're evacuating. Today she told me "no, because hurricanes don't hit their city. None have hit their in 100 years."
Wtf does that have to do with Irma?

Isn't Charlotte in the path of the storm once it makes landfall?

I don't know if it's true, but I read something on FB this morning that hotels have to accept pets if you are evacuating.
I had to call a few places earlier in the week when I was making just in case plans out of New Orleans. Couple of places did not allow dogs. Not sure if this has changed or only applies to those in imminent danger, however.

I am a civil engineer consultant and have access to topo maps and flood zones. If your family lives ON the Manatee River in Bradenton it is 100% zone "A" with finished floor elevations around 9'.
It's pretty flat around there and gradually rises to zone C east of I-75. However all homes on the river are zone A.
ETA: you said Palma Sola. That's in the entrance to Tampa Bay. Yes it's zone A and it's mandatory he leaves.

hotel next to that gas station is a peace of shite hotel no one stays at unless they're banging a hooker, so it's usually empty, and it was jam packed.
On a positive note the hooker is seeing an increase in business

Hispaniola has likely had some impact on the south side inflow but Irma is looking better on the last few frames. Been consistent with this afternoon organization and slight strengthening pattern before faking a replacement and losing some steam overnight. I suspect that continues today.

My point is even if they are probably in to just miss the worst of a strong cat 4-5, there's a big enough chance it doesn't and the cost to staying at that point is pretty high.
I agree. If I lived there I would be gone already. Debbie Wasserman Schultz lives in Weston. I bet she is gone and took those she loves with her.

Yeah as it moves WNW conditions will improve, no doubt.

If any GA/SC folks are thinking about heading up to Charlotte. Get on it fast. Rooms are really filling up.
Winds are only supposed to hit 90mph here in Columbia. I've got my kite ready.

Maybe he'll be lucky and most of the evac traffic will have cleared out by Sunday.
We have a mandatory evacuation for Saturday at 8am. I am wondering if traffic will be better on Sunday as well.

Lots of slow moving traffic everywhere. I'd imagine, with as many people that are evacuating, Atlanta traffic may get even worse. A lot of people evacuating from Savannah will probably head this way.
If it was me I'd go west to ft Myers then north to Tampa and take back highways to the panhandle. frick being on 75 in that traffic for that long when most gas stations are out of gas. Too much risk getting stranded

Not me but one of my buddies - you may know him if you live in Tally and frequent the GC after work.
Police escorts eh? Heard they want their drivers flown out after delivery now too.

Be sure to tie a key on it, Mr. Franklin.

Your friend is risking his families lives on a hunch. Playing with gasoline and a blowtorch. He needs to go.

I'd hate to be living in all those pine trees in Forest Acres.
