Those poor souls on those islands already hit by Irma
Not much shelter left for them I imagine, just a lot of loose debris laying around with a category 4 headed your way and no real way off the island. I can't even imagine.

Thanks. As it moves inland, the models seem less decisive and there has been a definite shift in the cone. Just wondered what was causing the models to sway that way.
I understand steering (what is steering), I just don't understand why the highs and troughs do what they do. Way above my head!

Those Hurricane Hunters are getting extra work in for sure this season ... is that their only job or are they like Air Force pilots who do this during hurricane season??

Good luck pal....I'm ahead of you. I will let you know if I find faster route
Just wondering if you're seeing a rise in gas prices as you're travelling north or are the prices about what they were pre evacuation? Have you seen any places without gas considering the amount of traffic?

I know this is a complete crap shoot,
but what the heck is that showing up on GFS run at 384 in exact same location as Irma is now? Is that Jose after a loop?

No, that's a new storm.

I'm about to begin the the trek up 75 from Tampa. I live in Hyde Park and fully expect to come back to a roof in pieces and shattered windows. Hope everyone stays safe.
Woah. Really? The flooding is what I would be most concerned about but unless you are in A or B...
Tampa is in a peculiar spot with respect to the winds. As we sit right now, the NHC track calls for the center of Irma to be 75 miles to the east of Tampa. They also forecast Irma's 58+ mph sustained winds to extend 115 miles from her center at that point, putting Tampa comfortably inside of significant sustained winds.
That's not going to destroy a home, but tree damage and power outages will be very likely, and gusts can get quite a bit higher than that, so we'll see.

I can't provide anything specific other than than Waze app usually is really good about "real-time" updates. It also lets you see nearby gas stations.
Good luck and stay safe!

Did your question of what exactly will cause it to turn north get answered?
It's a shortwave trough that is coming into the SE from the Midwest over the next few days. It will erode some of the ridge above Irma, and the counterclockwise flow around the trough will steer Irma northward. It is hard to see on the models though, but it is there.

Recon data seems to support increasing winds again, that "reorganization" period might be coming to an end.

How fitting would it be for Hurricane Lee to hit New Orleans this year?
Posted on 9/8/17 at 9:53 am to CuseTiger
Hurricane Lee

Gas buddy is not comprehensive but can be a life saver. Gray stations means they don't know, Green has gas and red is out. Zoom in on where you are.

Looks like Irma's eye is about to really open up now that the replacement cycle is done.

I'm hearing that toddlers have really bad hurricane allergies and should thus be given Benadryl throughout the duration of any evacuation.
