One thing is for sure Irma is expanding her wind field.

Makes me wonder if it would be feasible to take a high-rise, and perforate it periodically so that it funnels high wind through to the other side, allowing the entire facade to act more like mesh and less like a sail.


What you're suggesting may explain some of the building facades in Hong Kong. What I had assumed were decorative, or maybe protection from solar heating could also have worked as baffles to slow some projectiles enough to cause them to drop rather than impact.

I don't put a lot of stock in the Dvorak technique. it has it's uses though.


I'm not doing the technique or anything just judging from how it looks that were probably seeing a dip in strength.

It's useful we've been able to compare those T#s vs recon data through this too.

It was lagging winds early on but it matched up w well yesterday when numbers were in the mid 7s. It probably works better at the higher ends when things are more straight forward.

s your brother a former active duty marine? If so I know that dumbass. An old buddy from SOI is apparently planning to ride it out in key west according to Facebook


Nope.

He's currently hanging out with a bunch of the charter captains that are in the "wait and see" boat as well.

Lmao Irma is still going to be a tropical storm when it gets to Kentucky. That's like 600 miles inland

I'm not disagreeing with you or anything. I just put more stock in the recon data.

A cat 4 to Savannah would be horrific. Atlanta would feel that too as a westward shift takes place after landfall. The important thing to note is the GFS is shifting a bit more westward albeit not as far west as the Euro.


There is zero chance of this

What made all the models change and have it go a little more rest? Looks like Florida is going to take it straight on now.


It all depends on the positioning of the shortwave low over the southeast us and how strong it develops along with positions of high pressure ridges. It's hard to predict and will likely continue to change. Not to mention a hurricane this strong is just highly unpredictable. Just like it is pushing dry air out of the way rather than weakening...Irma is kind of making her own rules to an extent

Are there live DOTD cameras on the 7 mile brige down to The Keys? That's going to be fascinating to watch when that bridge is washed away.
