re: Hurricane Irma - Spinning Down

I'm confused. Earlier today, in the discussion report, the NHC wrote that IF Irma was tracked further south (as some models showed) and interacted with Cuba that would help lessen its intensity when it hit the US mainland. Irma has taken that southerly track and yet it forecast to be a Cat 5 at landfall.
Please explain.

There's gas on 301 in Waldo, FL north of Gainesville. And at i10 and 301 west of Jacksonville.
There's "marine gas" available on Hwy 98 just north of Ochlockonee Bay (coastal location south of Tallahassee). That's just pure gasoline with no ethanol so it's perfect for a car. For any Tampa refugees the coastal road through Apalachicola and east might be a decent option. IE - Perry and then over on 98 and along the coast. I live near that gas station. Google "Angelo's Restaurant" and it is just before that. Good luck everyone.

Probably for A floodzones and counties right on major lakes

At no point did anyone expect Irma to make landfall in Florida on the Gulf side of the state.

Remember, the Euro was east and it had some worst case scenario runs for Miami. The NHC cone was original south of the Everglades and then slowly shifted eastward as we moved up in time. At one point, it was passing offshore of Miami. My feed was melting down as different mets started talking up the eastward shifts, the ensembles and playing down the chances for a S. Florida hit. So people not closely following the models my have felt the shift back to the west was a surprise.
Also, a lot of people (pro mets included) get invested in a solution and are reluctant to walk it back.

Several days ago, they predicted it would go up the eastern coastline and possibly turn back into the Atlantic..

I was just watching the news and noticed that these long lines of traffic heading north are just single lanes of traffic. I'm surprised they haven't activated contraflow yet. Have they activated contraflow anywhere in FL yet? Or is that something that might happen closer to landfall?

Charley
Irma
Just an incredible difference in size between the two. You can use the latitude and longitude to compare them. Irma is going to catch a whole lot of self described hurricane vets off guard if she makes landfall around where Charley did.

Why they haven't already is mind boggling.

Let it fricking go you cuck. Some of you are only here to shite on models that were 6 days ago. The world changes in a week dipshit. Fronts move faster and slower. Ridges sink deeper than expected or not as much. shite changes. But they have been pretty damn close on this the whole time.

Charley was a little bitch.

You right. At one point it was going to NY. Then NC then SC was gonna get it. It's getting closer to landfall and the window is closing. The tracks have been pretty consistent other than small shifts in the cone.
I mean, PJ did say it was gonna slam the East Coast so I figured this is par for the course.

Exactly. The closer to landfall we are, the better the models will be. We aren't in 2018 looking back on a 2017 hurricane. shite will change, but really not that much now.

No joke - my hair stylist was flying to Orlando today to get married at Disney on Sunday. She kept insisting she was going until Disney announced it was closing. Hit the news before they contacted her, too.
