I don't like how she's playing games with this wobble to the south and straight into Cuba.

Google maps showing I-10 west is wide open all the way through Mobile and not much traffic in the metro, is this not reliable at all or is everyone really heading straight north to get out?
I am on I-10 now headed east and westbound is wide open.

CAT4 Hurricane Irma - Hurricane Warnings Hoisted for S. Florida
Looks like Irma dove head first into Cuba.
This ain't (riding the coast), might throw a wrench in the models having different inputs now.
I was just wondering the same thing while watching the image. It's heading straight into Cuba and the eye will spend some time over land. That's going to weaken it relatively, correct?

I have some friends in Ft. Meyers who are staying. They are not near the water but they live in a double wide. I'm hoping they evacuate to a shelter.
Staying in a traditional brick and mortar home is one thing, but a mobile home is legitimately risking your life in the Ft. Meyers area.
From Andrew:

Although effects from Andrew were catastrophic, the extent of damage was limited mainly from Kendall to Key Largo due to the small wind field of the storm. The hurricane destroyed 90% of mobile homes in the county, including 99% of mobile homes in Homestead.

No way people would have followed that rule. You'd end up with some messy arse headon collisions even with escorts for southbound trucks.
That's how they do it when leaving games in foxboro. Cars and trucks on the outbound lanes and bus, limos, etc on a single outbound.

Hopefully Irma will ride Cuba longer than they expected. The center is already farther south than they projected it getting over Cuba.

I'm in Lakeland living in a trailer. I think it's safe to GTFO here!!!!

I know it's a ways off and Florida is going to take the brunt of this, but is there any reason to worry about the loop-d-loop the thing is going to do over north Alabama?
I live in Birmingham and don't really see how a tropical depression hanging out for a few days won't lead to some terrible flooding.

I suspect the drop a little south was a momentary wobble and the track will normalize due west soon, keeping the eye mostly offshore and not really weakening her much.
For significant weakening, the whole eye needs to go over Cuba for a few hours at least.
Anything that stops a strengthening cycle here is welcomed though. Even if it's at best just a glancing blow at Cuba.

if this thing goes a good distance into cuba the track should massively change due to the weakening

Wait...is this just what you think is going to happen and are posting it as fact, or do you actually know what you are talking about?

Did we already do the 8:00pm Advisory?
CAT 4
150 MI E of Carribean Cuba
924 mb
155 MPH
Moving W @ 12
Next advisory @ 10 CST
She's slowing down, indicative of a precursor to turning Slack/rds/Duke ??
