This shite in the last few pages is what I'm talking about. It's going to be "in the cone" because that's how "the cone" is designed to work.

It's a freaking moving trajectory with an end point of 500 miles in any direction. So theoretically, well actually in this case, the actual path was 400 miles west where the cone began.

If it does that twice it could be 800 miles off but still in the cone.

Stop attacking posters for seeing the obvious. Just let it go.

That radar loop is impressive considering the more westerly track.

Next six hours will say a lot.

Yeah, it's real interesting how some people react. Several days ago it was suggested I be banned from the thread for daring to share that my gut was telling me it was going to shift west and come in from the west side when the models were showing east side/Miami area landing. It was like I stole their puppy.

What's bad is there will be a shite ton of people who believe/feel like the NHC totally fricked up with Irma, even though they've been incredibly impressive up to this point.

There will be people saying "3 days ago they said it would hit Charleston and now it is going to hit Naples. That's 400 mile apart!" Meanwhile, those same folks fail to realize the NHC center of the track was only off by the distance from Miami to Naples. The rest of it is geography.

At this point, the NHC's "error" is equivalent to predicting the storm will hit New Orleans and it hits Lafayette instead.

That's a big deal.
Not really. High winds and storm surge.

So what if the eye won't cross Daytona Beach?

Ocean check your map again and adjust for 5-8ft surge.

They should go watch TWC. Jim C walking around on water and telling us how many Walmarts will get damaged in Miami.


I've watched TWC a lot over the last 3 days and i've come to the conclusion that it's garbage. 90% of the coverage is filler crap like interviewing some county EMS spokesman or a storm surge graphic showing a CGI house washing away. They spend minimal time talking about the real time conditions of the actual hurricane.

I think it has more to do with a lot of their students are from the potential affected areas. Who the hell can study/focus on school when this shite is going?

Exactly. These personal attacls because people are mad about pointing out a shifting storm track are absolutely ridiculous.

Wrong. The end of the cone could be due west from Irma instead of north (in Florida). But it's not. It is predicting a 90
degree turn and they have been predicting this turn for a week now.

Duke , Slackster . If it hugs the west coast of Florida (say 20-30 miles offshore ) can it continue to strengthen as it goes up the coast ?

I don't think the NHC screwed up it's forecast.

I do think that local and state authorities fricked up their evacuations and planning based upon how the NHC presents its forecast.

We're about 35 feet up from what I looked at (if I read the map properly). Second safest area to be in the county
