Uh oh Tampa! I'm not sure they're expecting this!

I think panhandle residents need to start preparing. I would expect to see some evacs near the bend.

FWIW, the Euro model puts Bonita Springs in the NE eye wall or quadrant of Irma between 48 and 72 hours.

if Liz is saying the hypot-nuse is 22 yds, then the tree is 38 ft tall.

You can't spell, but your math checks out.

Topography has a huge impact.
Even local structures and vegetation make a big difference. My roof took a much worse beating several years ago before my subdivision was fully developed when my house was wide open to wind in all directions. More recently, with larger trees in the neighborhood and houses surrounding me, I have been provided some protection.

If a tree is 18yrds from your house and the angle to the top (diagonal) is 22yrds, how tall is the tree?
Here's a quick and dirty method. Measure the length of the tree's shadow. Stand a yardstick upright and measure the length of the yardstick's shadow. The shadows will be the same proportion of the tree and the yardstick heights.

Sounds like y'all have it as much under control as possible given the circumstances. Prayers for safety for y'all.
Much appreciated. It is so beautiful here today, partly cloudy skies, hots as balls, and you would never know. Tensions are rising. My boss (ex-military) said they were evacing Macdill AFB in Tampa. That was not comforting.

Navy track for when it makes landfall.

NOAA9 has just taken off for Irma

Might be good time to invest in some orange juice futures.

The inner eye wall is just hanging on by a shred in the NE corner of the eye in the last frame. If/when it clears out, we could see more strengthening unfortunately.

I feel like the volatility of the hurricanes is always overlooked. With Irma, every single model was plus or minus 100 miles or so from where the eye would hit.
Now, magically overnight we wake up and the entire storm has shifted further west than any projection. Now, we have a Solar flare that just happened this week. The largest solar flare since 2005 plus an earthquake. The panhandle needs to start prepping for the worst.

A little bit of good news on my end. We were able to get in touch with a neighbor near our property and he's going to go over and put up the hurricane shudders on the house windows. The windows getting blown out was a big concern.

Tampa is looking fricked. Not good.
