Just got word that most of the boats that went to Hurricane Hole on St John to ride out the storm didn't make it.

The only word from Coral Bay is very sketchy. Someone walked out and was able to give a few names of people that are safe but most are still unaccounted for. There's just no way to get in there yet.

If you haven't been there the only road in is over the mountain. The shore is rocky on that side and the harbor is loaded with destroyed boats.

Morning everyone!

Looks like Irma is exhaling a bit. Glad to see those winds coming down. Hopefully it stays that way.

Get the frick out now - you will drown.

If you have a wife / girlfriend / kids / pets - get them and get the frick out now.

If you need money to help you get out, let us know.

Get the frick out of there or you are a dead man.

How does storm surge work for the west side when a southeast approaching hurricane is running up the middle of the peninsula? Will the surge make it around and up the west coast of the peninsula or will the southerly winds on the west side of the storm push the water down towards Cuba? Wouldn't most of the surge be experienced by the east coast?

When they mention the distance winds extend from the center are they measuring from the dead center of the eye or the inner layer of the eyewall?

Looking at the extended track that's out there, it looks like the storm parks itself over northern Alabama for days. That's going to be a lot of rain for someone if the forecast holds true..

I would say we are at the point where not IF Irma hits SFl, but how powerful will she be coming into the peninsula.

Lots of warm water ahead once the eyewall replacement completes. Could see pressure drop again and intensification. Will be interesting to watch the dropsonde's during the course of the day today.

Absolutely. I think it’s going to make landfall as a borderline Cat 4/Cat 5. I’m still projecting landfall about 30 miles southeast of Marco Island. Right in the Everglades/Ochopee area

It may be time for a Jose thread. I know the focus is on Irma and rightfully so but those islands are about to get crushed again and there is little shelter for people to take now.


dont understand the downvotes. Jose is about to hit those islands and they might not have an idea how close it is.

Reporting in from Bradenton, south of Tampa/St.Pete - preps prepped. We're on the west side of storm track. Surge impact should be nil. Pool draining about 6-8 inches in advance of the expected rainfall. Winds are the wild card. Who knows how high? To be determined. I-75 going north is right along the projected path. A 7 hour drive to Atlanta is now reported as 14 hrs+ I for one don't fancy being stuck in my car in that or during that. Maybe more later. Right now it's sunny humid and hot here. No breezes.
