They need to leave. People think they are prepared until the storm hits. The misery afterwords is more than most want to deal with in their life. We didn't have power for 8 days after Gustav and it was like hell on earth. These folks will probably be without power for months in some places.

Getting out is tough man. Gas is in short supply and the traffic is insane. It's a long drive to get out of the state.

48 Hour Euro
Worth noting that it initialized Irma @ 951mb, 25mb higher than she currently is.

Euro 24hours on the coast of Cuba!
So instead of riding up the Cuban coast it looks as if it's going to cross or atleast make direct hit?

Is there really that big of a drop off in wind speed over the land? That looks like ~70 knots over water and 35 kts over land.

Liz, being that you are an accountant, you are obviously educated and have some means. May I ask why leaving was not an option for you?
How much gas do you have?
I have been through (in LA) Andrew, Katrina, Gustav and Isaac. I never left, although we were inland 157 miles. It isn't a pride thing. I don't feel unsafe in terms of bodily harm, just concerned about the house. I would rather be somewhere familiar. It is comforting to be home and know what is going on than leave and not know. Maybe it gives you a sense of control, like a baseball player's stupid superstitious dirty socks or something. I know it doesn't sound logical (which I am) but I weighed the options and I want to stay here.
BTW, I have no children, so I am not risking a child's life. That would be a game changer.

At this point... has the storm technically entered the GOM?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but what does the M, H, & D stand for? Is the H and D hurricane and (tropical) depression?

Let's be real - the chances of someone dying due to something other than surge is incredibly low.
However, it is going to be absolutely terrifying during the day on Sunday, and it will be miserable beyond belief for a week, at least, in that area.

How many neighbors are staying by you...long time residents? The wind is one thing...the neighbors are confident yall will not see a storm surge?
Making it through the storm is manageable, just the days after will be rough.
This always happens with people leaving..lots of traffic now..by the time feeder bands approach..clear sailing..just need ,obviously, gas
