Good luck up there. One thing I am thankful for is our power runs underground, to a sub station. We lost power during the four smaller hurricanes for a total of a few hours.

Knock on wood.

No I'm not, I was just stating that if it continued to only skirt Cuba, it wouldn't weaken as much. Combine that with the very warm waters that it will cross, and it will be a very strong hurricane at landfall. I'm not hoping for that, just stating what we may see happen.

Is that dry air getting sucked into Irma on the left side over the past couple of hours? Or is that just interaction with Cuba that's throwing it off?

Sure seems to be going west right now. If I'm in Panama City, I'm at least a little nsrvous...

Thats Federal backed insurance. Private companies out there will activate in as little as 3 days, but they tend to cost more. They all have freezes on any new policies right now though.

Still has to track over very warm water. Too soon to determine Cubas effect. Will need to assess that after she gets back over water to see if she reintensifies. She has shown no inability to keep up her strength when provided ample warm water.

Based on the 00z ensemeble cluster analysis and the short term motion since 00z, the threat seems to be increasing for a Tampa area landfall. Another option on the table is that storm misses Tampa to the west and landfalls in the mostly rural Big Bend area.

A bit longer than was thought a couple of days ago. However, the storm is going to be weaker coming off of Cuba and the upper level conditions should start to deteriorate as it moves north. There might not be much additional strengthening as it moves northward.

Ok so what's going to cause this Northern turn? If it's the cold front that passed through LA the other the day then what's to say Irma just doesn't overpower it and keep pushing West?

I heard Kenny Cheney in an interview yestrrday talking about his house in the islands. He said he had hurricane windows gauranteed for 200mph impacts. Said it blew out every one of his windows.
